Originally posted by Stephenm52: I'm in Donny's court on this one. Steve, I don't think any of us want Donny to leave...I really like the guy and we have had many chats through private e-mail and he's always been a gentleman. And, personally, I don't think Donny has a "problem"...I think he just gets bored with using a particular arranger and wants something different...that's understandable. What might be hard to understand sometimes is the reversal in opinion on instruments...as it's already been said, he bashes one for a time and then buys it...then it's better than the rest...then he gets bored, or influenced by someone or something, and the Holy Grail becomes another tin cup...fairly confusing for any lurkers out there, especially when Donny posts these reversals so often(I don't know where he finds the time if he's gigging so often). He's had his friends and others talk him out of buying or selling...he even invites this quite often...and, then it all changes again. I don't have anything against his buying practises....that's his own business, but you must admit, it all gets a little confusing and sometimes even amusing. This place would be pretty dull without Donny's antics...I miss him already. Ian

Seems this thread has become a tug-of-fun, (not war) between Donny sympathisers and Donny bashers...
...but if we analyze closely, no one here dislikes Donny, nor they question his musicianship/entertainer status.
As said before, and judging from previous audio snippets posted, Donny is exceptional, gifted in a way, in what he does. So some of us may have to look closely and copy what he does.
In the same manner, some of us may want to distance ourselves a little from his comments on various arrangers, because (in my humble opinion) there isn't any "read-between-the-lines-and-ye-shall-discover-the-truth" in Donny's comments, but only some kind of constant thoughts. More like a blog, or a diary. He seems to write about what is currently on his mind.... And if his mind changes opinion, it reflects on the writing as well.
I think the forum will be poorer without Donny, as much as it is poorer now than it was some years ago.

It also doesn't help when Donny's bashed by members in topics that he has nothing to do with.., nor even posted under. Bringing him up in this mannor is clearly childish and instigative....
