I'm like scotch. You like me or hate me. Those that hate usually have done something wrong to where I may have retaliated. I am a total Richard Cranium when I'm angry but try my best to avoid confrontation.

I sincerely appreciate what you've observed. I wish others were more observant and less likely to judge someone so fast. I'm in a tough field. People mistake excitement or being proud for ego. I'd so love to talk to Wolfgang Van Halen. He's probably in the same boat as me. We'd probably end up best friends. Only children, multi instrument etc. Very few people can share in your happiness in this field and it's too easy to be taken the wrong way. So you just do what you do and hope people "get it" like you man. Like I said, it's the little things we say to others that can make the difference. Here I am again smiling from ear to ear. Thanks for that. :)
