I have never posted to the list before, and when I read your top ten list
and got to #3 (listed below) I laughed out loud.  I was in the studio
yesterday bemoaning my guitar playing, my writing, etc and thinking about
wanting to be David Wilcox when I grow up musically.  So, thanks, Bob,
for putting it in perspective.  It was a well deserved dose of reality.

Peace and Blessings,  Janet Griffin
