Hi Pat, 
You have every right to an opinion and I would defend your right to that
opinion. Do I have a right to know where you're coming from?
Cheers,
Ric

Could you point me to one of your performances if you have a website or
Facebook or Myspace page so I can see the standards you're using to critique
this kid please?>>

Aw c`mon, Ric,

I can see where you are going with this.  I really don`t mind if you
disagree with my criticism, thats fair enough but I expect something a bit
more mature than `Yah boo! If you can`t do better yourself you shouldn`t
criticize`. Thats just pathetic. I can`t lay eggs but I can tell if one is
bad.

I think the girl has a great talent but I didn`t like the performance for
the reasons which I gave. If you go back and read my post I think you may
agree that they were reasonable.

As for Steve weighing in  and comparing what I might have said about his
protege violin player, I don`t think I have ever expressed an opinion about
him but just for the record I think he is terrific.

Cheers

Pat
