Ian, I am really not interested in what Donny has done in the past; there were times when members in a band would wear gorilla masks for effect, not important it’s just stuff. But the moment I hear an instrument being played for a few bars I know the man’s ability.

I have heard people who have studied for years-- and those who have not; when someone has that God given gift and it is centered right in the center of their heart you can hear it, and even more important you can feel it.

I came to keyboard from a guitar/vocal career of many years and I am no match for a man with years of piano; he leaves me in the dust as far as his technic. But ---- there are many ex-piano players that I run past because of the inner talent I have -- it is all about feel. If you have a lot of heart and little technic you get by. If you have a lot of heart and good technic then you are GOOD! Technic without heart is like sex without love. Hmmmmmmmm

Hope I did not say too much, John C.
