Hi Judy & nice to hear from you, I missed you the other week. You're right Judy, you can't dis an entire art form, but a large percentage of todays singer/songwriters suck, not the form just them. Maybe when their song hangs anound for a while some folks will work them into better songs & then again some don't need any work they're great the way they are but alot of what's being pushed about now is tripe by singers whose real talent lies in their being very good PR people who can/can't sing/play not in their talent as songwriters. This is not to steal the well deserved thunder of those that really do have the talent, but it seems that the pushyer s/s drown out the cream of the crop & only a small percentage of what's good rises to the top. Don't stone me when you see me next, hope to hear/see you soon. Barry
