@reubent Thanks for the words and I will take that into consideration. However, I am a Dave Mason fan so for the very fair price of the album I think I will indeed make the purchase. And, of course, will report on the performance as well as the SQ once I receive it (end of January, if it's on time for deliver date).
As for skiing, 4 days thus far this season. I'll be back up to Mammoth in early January, after all of the Holidays. Being retired there is no longer any reason to go skiing amongst the crowds. My target is to score a minimum of 30 ski days this season. And Happy Holidays to you, too. Be safe and healthy.
