""If Don makes a statement about Richard, I'd be inclined to believe it if I were you. Unless you have actual, documented proof of what you claim, I'd be inclined to drop it.""

I'll second that, since that ""opinion"" is nothing of the sort. It is not for me to produce the evidence which would blow you out of the water (GUESTBluesman, or whichever other IDs you hide behind). It is Richard Bridge's prerogative to make that decision, and he is not noted for self aggrandisement, either professionally or musically, competent though he is in both areas.

I suspect you cannot say the same, so why don't you go and play, so the adults can get on with sensible discussion.
