Amen Bob:

The pity of it is that the above musicians were dissed in front of 400 list
mates, most of whom have never heard them. Yet perhaps they will now carry a
"too many notes-no soul" label because of one opinion.

Randy Sandke et al? Who are they? Some of the BEST OKOM musicians on the
scene today, that's all. Definitely not the usual suspects.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
