sorry folks to belabor this, but I rended myself out of context in my
last post. I promise I'll stop this quibbling, but having sent my last
post I need to fix one thing.

But Mike you said:

First of all, NO ONE HAS SAID THIS ON THE LIST, and it's only by a gross
twisting of words and context that would lead Mike to say that. But having
been chided by Mike:

Don't the words "uneducated" and "those who lack" a musical education
mean ignorant? Excuse me for putting words in your mouth. I'll rephrase
and say, this was the point I was making when Mike Curtis chided for
being "uneducated" if not "ignorant."
