Dan Spink Adds A Question for Charlie Hook or Anyone Else:

Charlie, right on! I've more often run into guitar players who, as you so 
well put it, "amp up" to where you can't hear yourself playing. I've often 
wondered why they do this? I met an R&D studio producer some years ago who 
was doing young rock stuff off the street. He told me he recorded the group 
and then separately added strings and other percussion around them later. One 
group got big enough to play with a full orchestra, he said, and they were so 
unused to playing with a sense of balance vs. other instruments, they "amped 
up" the guitars to the point where the orchestra couldn't work with them. So 
what is wrong with those folks? Are they tone deaf or harmonically 
challenged?
