Right on John, that great feedback. I do not necessarily need to rock the house as well, just getting a feel for where they are at. Honestly, most of my listening falls into the same categorie as yours.Thanks,Peter

I got ya on that one Doug. You see, I am still musically relatively undeveloped. However, my better half, who is the actual musician, is developed. So far, she has bought three LP's with encouragement from me to buy more. Which did she purchase yo...
