I am NOT trying to rustle any feathers here. Merely explaining where these sounds are coming from.
I think an accurate summary of my comments would be "I'm an old fuddy-duddy."
Chalk that up as another sign that you've succeeded.


My wife often tells me that I need a t-shirt that simply says "Fogey". So...don't feel alone. We are a large club...
I would say that the fact that my bass, drums, guitar and over-all production were all called into question is evidence that I have, at least, been successful at "making some change".

And, as I said, it took me some time to warm up to this style. I spent considerable time thinking... "that's not for me". Now, however - perhaps unfortunately - I've been infected.
