Bill sorry to get all your feathers ruffled...your way to sensitive to criticism. There is just to much BS on the SZ regarding critique & many times people will say things just to be nice instead of saying what they really feel which in turn benefits everyone even if it hurts a bit. Or on the other hand they will listen and wont post anything which sometimes is worse.
Right or wrong you sound like you enjoy what your doing musically & you can't ask for more then that. I'm really a very nice guy but I just have to say it like it is.
Take care I'm off to a BBQ gig & then a Dinner & dance tonight...
