I don't think we should scrutinize what de Peyer can play now, if you hear
his early recordings, of which there are many, we should be thankful that he
did so many.

I also think Stoltzman is amazing, but personally don't like his sound,
again Michael Collins is amazing, but don't like his sound, this is purely a
personal point of view. Everyone is entitled to their own view, some like
tomatos, some don't.

Matthew is right, we don't all share the same views, that's what makes
people, people, if we were all the same, this list would have died years
ago.

Regards

Donny
