Jesus Dale, I'm not making any value judgements here about anyone's taste. For crying out loud, I like a Big Mac from time to time, Bud Lite beer, as well as just spacing out in front of the tv while some mindless entertainment rolls by, but man, those who have some talent should be rewarded by it far more than they are.

And I don't care if someone agrees with my concept of what is good or not, only that the good stuff get some fair amount of exposure. And I don't think I've ever said I'm better than anyone else because they like something I don't. Though as I've mentioned, maybe searching for the good out there in all the junk makes it that much better.

Take my Old Man. Years ago when he was painting his wildlife paintings, he did it from the mind. He eventually quit for a variety of reasons, but one of them was he found out many of the well known wildlife artists he knew did a lot of their paintings by projection. These people would cut out pictures of wildlife and project them on the canvass and almost paint by numbers. These were the same people who were winning things like the Federal Duck Stamp competition and State Duck Stamp contests. In otherwords, more or less, sampling.

As for all the DBIS Burn Unit cds, I've only listened to a couple of them - don't want to blow through them - oddly, I'm saving yours and am expecting to be pleasantly surprised.
