Thanks Spalding, very considerate. As to your video, anyone who thinks musicians are evolving into a bunch of button-pushers and sample players should watch this video. THIS is where music is going and this is what the next generation of musicians will aspire too, mastery of the instrument, mastery of the art form, and the intelligence, education, and values that go with it. I love, love, love these talented young people and am in awe of there talent, creativity, and dedication to QUALITY. Also for not succumbing to the seductions of 'easy money' at the expense of true art. I think all this is evident in this video and the whold concept behind Snarky Puppy and new emerging groups like it.

Spalding, for the record, MOST of them look like 'nerds'; let's hear it for the nerds.
