Hi Dave,

I don't think anyone was criticizing Norms talent....if they were they shouldn't be. I have enjoyed everything he has
posted. Even though I don't always post something in response to his recordings, I listen to them all (as well as everyone
else's) and they are well played and well recorded. In fact it was nice to hear the playing of the people on this list and
I was very impressed with the talent here. One question though...what does YGTBFKM mean? :)

Cheers!

Gary

I've been silent on this thread until now, but Norm knows I am usually a vocal supporter of his work, we have corresponded on and off line for many years. I completly agree (which is why I have not posted)with "anonymous" below. When I read the post about the ramp speed (and I am not targeting this particular poster, it's just the first that comes to mind), I thought YGTBFKM. No wonder no one else wants to post their work. If someone of Norm's talent get's picked apart like this, what's a regular guy/gal to do? I expect this on "Organized", but didn't expect this here. Maybe we should just get back to what we do best and criticize manufacturers. Looks like Numa came and went, Tokai never really happened, Diversi was supposed to be the biggest ever, C2 needs 3rd party drawbars, XK3c has inferior chorus/vibrato, and so on.
I think we all agree VB3 rules. What say you?
