Wow - that was certainly an interesting biography Eddie - my instincts told me you had a big ego and that you were a VERY good musician, but I definitely wouldn't have guessed a 160 IQ (no offense) - that's very impressive. And judging by other musicians' reactions to you, you are a gifted natural, as well as studied. What type of IT work did you do ? It's a little ironic that you didn't more quickly become a Band-in-a-box technical geek...but I could see how the sound of computer generated music - no matter how good, would be a step back next to a live band and a person with the natural gift of music. Don't get me wrong - BB live tracks are quite amazing - but nothing beats the energy and improvisation of a live performance.

Thank you for your service, and I'm sorry about your troubles from the army experience. Though I am very anti-war and absolutely hate the people that send many Americans for needless wars to protect oil fields, I do realize that some wars are necessary and unavoidable. And regardless of how I feel about particular wars or wars in general, I respect every single American that serves in the military and have extreme gratitude toward them. I only wish the government that sent them there would address the injuries they inflicted on them - hence the hatred for the men that send them, then forget them.
