The thing is, Don, you don't know what I have experienced, either thru listening or thru playing.

Although you seem like a pleasant enough guy, I think you are very narrow in your interests and tastes. That is certainly your prerogative. My problem is that you are dismissive of those of us who have a broader sense of what music is. Also, it makes me feel creepy when I hear people talk about "Purity".

And, by the way, Perlman likes rock n' roll a lot.
