You missed the point of my statement. It is his opinion - only - not
supported by any factual evidence presented in the discussion thus
far. One could conclude than that it is only an opinion based on nothing
but wanting to be right.

Jennifer,

As much as I appreciate your position here, and regardless of what TP has
posted since in an effort to redeem himself after an unfortunate mistake in
choice of words, he stated, in context, that jazz was a lesser artistic
form than what he does. So yes, you appear to be wrong and need
correcting. It is a major thing - not a minor thing (not augmented
either). It is called discrimination. Plain and simple.

I'm happy to see TP reversing his statement in later posts........it just
means he thought about it a bit more and made some conclusions.

Sincerely,
Roger Garrett
