Martin and all,

I love gospel music and have no trouble enjoying the pure musicality of it as well as the sincerity of the good people who believe every nuance of it whole hog. As I've mentioned, I am an atheist Jew who has been the loving spouse of a Jehovah's Witness for the last 39 years. Their music is just terrible---to my ears. What can I say. Still I honor their sincere belief in spite of my utterances here in several threads because I was pissed off at you personally. I ain't proud o' that---but I think it's what I did---and I'm sorry for letting you push my buttons. Hopefully, them days are over and done.

But Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver doing their thing as only they can will always be profound and moving to me.
