It's very primal - a perfect example of "you can take the monkey out of the jungle - but you cannot take the jungle out of the monkey".

Hi to LD, EveAnna, Stephen and my other friends at GS.......

Hi to you as well alpha........ or do you prefer just "jerk"?

I'm one of those people who are blessed with having something that i love to do - and being paid very well for it.

I am also a musician who could care less whether my band ever plays (we do but that is icing on the cake - not the cake itself) because it is for the love that we do it.

But the art - with all of this - goes way beyond the musicians - it includes the truly great engineers and ME's - the people who have the wonderful insight to create the equipment - the gear - that make it all possible - all of this is an expression of the Art in music.

LD - i do not believe it is possible to effectively discuss this without taking the "human equation" into account. In fact - it believe it is impossible to do the other.........

This isn't something that can be measured - it is all about people and differing personalities............. otherwise there would be no difference of how one mic's a set of drums - or which preference one has for gear, every song would be the same - clinical and soulless.

So unless "Jerk" can invent something (maybe this is HIS art) that can define all of the parameters and take this to a clinical level - humanity - personality - and art - will have a place.

Happy Hunting to all my friends,

Stephen - nice to see you here.
