When have I ever claimed to be an expert on anything I am not expert
on...or are you one of those buffoons who thinks that any time you
post a view on something you are claiming to be an expert...again,
show me where I claim to be an expert on say the history of music, and
I am no expert here...but then neither is Knit...or retract your lie.

Blah, blah, blah . . . . . How about you just answer the question about
which institute of higher learning you now call home?

So it's a hobby then. Good for you. I also have a hobby: barbeque. Now,
where I come from barbeque is a sauce, not a way of cooking, so as you
can imagine there has been quite a learning curve. But I care about it
and I've improved a lot over the past couple of years. But to be honest
about it, I'm pretty average. That said, I would never presume to
explain barbeque to the Johnny Trigg's of the world. To my mind, people
with that much experience and ability deserve some respect.

BK spent many years as a successful musician. Do you think it possible
that he might know more about music than you?

If I have a chef serves me bad BBQ, I am able to form an opinion that
his reputation is undeserved. BK is BS from day til dark. His opinion
is nothing more than that.

Wow. This from an IT guy at a company in Fayetteville, AR, that
sells elevator buttons, who might be able to discern bad BBQ.... but
Mike, just what background do you have in music? About the same as a
biology professor in a small Kentucky college?

Better yet, do the Horneys know that you spend so much time during
working hours on Usenet?

LOL

BK.
