Good man, Diki. It takes a secure person to identify styles we don't excell at. And we ALL have them...me certainly included.

You're also right about the measured politeness with this thread. I enjoyed the exchange of ideas and opinions with Ian and really don't disagree with any of his points, which were articulate. He took it "easy" on the "old man",and I appreciate that.

What this has done is allude to the wide diversity in the music field; both in terms of style, ability, preferences and approach.

Thanks much for starting one of the more intelligent and useful threads to appear here in awhile.

To me, this was a meaningful dialogue.
