I have been here less than before BECAUSE there is less talk about music and too much (in the balance) B.S.

I don't mean to offend either. (Kat, I love ya.) It's simply my preference. On occasion I join the B.S.---like now---or when I have a musical point to make within a B.S. thread---or if I think something I've experienced in the past might be an interesting musical aside.I still check in once a day or so. It's still fun even if not as scholarly as I might prefer. I do know that many valuable opinions and serious folk minds do not show up here lately. I can only suspect that they too are saddened by what they find here. Frank's not here. Sandy is here less. Sam usually adds his extrmely valuable points of view to 'rec. music folk' where, in my opinion, it's pearls before ..... ---Oh, nevermind.
