Hi Scott,
Really hope this pole will be of interest and helpful to all forum members.
I have already discovered that wherever we are in the World,musically we have so much in common to share.
Thanks Scott for initiating the survey and I look forward to discussing the resulting findings.

I would add, that Taike post which I consider to be a valid assessment ,when generalisations are being used to achieve a specific end, I can also fully understand and see where he is coming from.

Although his comments may not be in line with the objectives of this survey,it is worth bearing in mind these sensitivities for the future,

Gilbert.
