    Dirtydawg,
    You bring up some excellent points for all of us to consider. We do realize that the average fan doesn't care about the technicality or difficulty of the music, and it is unfortunae as...

    No problem, Papadawg. It was an honest mistake. I wouldn't mind being in the BOP for nine years, though. It's a pretty rewarding and enlightening experience.
