Very kind of you, Schubert. I am tempted to say that you give me too much credit, but it is more to the point to say that you don’t give yourself enough credit. In answer to your question:
From the start I felt that an interesting thread about this great music was a very good resource for the Audiogon community and I felt that there may be value for some to hear a musician’s perspective about it all. From the start, and putting aside talk of technical matters, the two most important ideas that I hoped the offer of a musician’s perspective might bring to the Aficionado table were: That the learning process is endless. There is always much more to learn and I very much include myself in that; I have learned much here in various ways. Perhaps even more importantly, that true love of the music requires not only respect, but a certain amount of humility. IOW, love and respect the music and not so much the fact that we love the music. I could go on, but I think that for anyone that “gets” that message enough has been said.
Regards.
