Rick - thank you for that reply to "Guest".

I think some people are afraid to respond to the anonymous postings, I know *I* am. A lot of that fear stems from the vitriolic posts the forum has seen over the past few months from anonymous postings. Even when I don't take the posts personally, or resent them when they appear to be attacking people I have come to regard as friends, they are very unpleasant. and tend to become MORE unpleasant the more often they appear.

Speaking strictly for myself, I would LOVE to have more musical discussions. I probably wouldn't post much to them, but I am learning a great deal by reading such threads.

The plain truth of the matter is, I don't have enough musical knowledge to ASK the bloody questions, let alone answer them. But I'm learning, slowly. Will I ever have the voice and singing technique that Andre has? I doubt it. But I can improve, and meanwhile, if there are people with whom I can share my music, and who share theirs with me, whom does it hurt?
