Dave,

You put it much better than I did. Just to let you know about my background, my father was in the music business all of his life; my Godfather was with Capitol Records and wrote a column for a magazine called, "Down Beat", I studied music in college; am trained (and taught) classical guitar; and am also a choral singer. I don't have too much to do with music, do I?:-)
