After finally listening to the clip and reading some, but not all, of the remarks, several thoughts come to mind.

I had a yard sale last year in which I sold some videos and DVDs. I asked (and got) $2.00 for the tapes and $5.00 for the disks. Of course, there was one guy who ragged on me about the prices. "Last yard sale I went to I bought tapes for twenty-five cents." MANY thoughts came to mind, none of which I voiced, but here are some.

1. Why don't you go back there?
2. These would be more.
3. If you want to brag about how broke you are, that's not my problem.
4. I'm not selling plastic, I'm selling content. Those who paid my price appreciated what they got.

All of which, if you think about it, relates to this discussion. If you don't like something, fine, but why poormouth it? You are just revealing your own deficiencies. NOT pointing fingers here as I have plenty of my own. Just sayin' Ac-CEN-tu-ate the Pos-i-tive.

I severely dug it. Couldn't play it in a million years, but I've got the education and experience to know what I'm listening to. Would I make my girlfriend listen to an evening of it? No. But if I was on my own I'd be there tapping my foot and sincerely applauding what it took to develop the chops that made it possible.

Jes' my two centibucks' worth.

P.S.: One of J. S. Bach's many sons dismissed his father's work as cacophony. I keep thinking about changing my signature line, but it keeps being appropriate . . .
