Yes, it is an individual preference, granted. But despite the successes and
acolades, even Brenton B could have produced a "dog" of a piece (No
reference to The Loaded Dog). Who knows! I haven't heard the piece but am a
bit miffed about padding out someone's, I guess you could say reputation,
and saying that it is a good piece. This is not a direct description of what
you have said Chris, but you see my point don't you? Especially in the
fickle world of music, where everyone has an opinion, so who is right????
