Nope... he didn't make any reference to my 'insensitivity' (I praised the playing and the style, for Pete's sake, and wished him well wherever he is now) about it being on a tribute thread. He just leaped to the usual knee-jerk defense of his arranger, when faced with ANY criticism of it whatsoever...

Which, if you want to look at it THAT way, was just as insensitive (in fact, more so because they couldn't even take the time to praise the playing!)...

Gunnar and tony mads just did the usual 'nothing wrong here, move along' boilerplate defense, chas. Yes, I'm sorry that ONE part of my post made all hell break out, but read it again and see my good wishes for him in Heaven (would YOU rather have a real band or an arranger in Heaven for eternity? ), but insensitive..? Only if you are determined to find it.

If those guys hadn't charged in and hijacked it, the comment might have just seemed normal... If it has got to the point where you can't say the LEAST thing negative about an arranger, even when surrounded by positive comments about it and the player, what have things got to, here?
