Sorry - my error. I've always made that mistake (calling saxophones "brass" instruments). In my mind, all the nice wind instruments are "woodwind" and all the loud ones are "brass". Eventually, I'll get it all together.

And please remember, there are many people that do not have courtesy and follow the rules of the road when they drive so blow it off. Take deep breathes, inhale thru the nose and exhale thru the mouth. I''ve worked the some people in the natural products industry and they have taught me many techniques to deal with stress. It Works!!! Your analysis of Peter White vs.Kenny G. really hits the mark!! Peter White does have the jazzy arrangements that really get you dancing as for Kenny G, he creates an atmosphere to calm & relieve stress!! I always think of the movie "Waynes World" 1 or 2 (can't remember) where the blondie, Garth, is sitting at a Kenny G concert and getting root canal (PAIN). I personally enjoy Kenny but prefer the rocking,swinging, & emphasis on percussion that our lovey Basia & Peter produce. LOve that percussion. I also love latin music. I think I have some latin in blood in me! aaeeeba!! By the way, I think the Duet idea of Enya is great but I would like to see Mike & Jeff wailing away with Basia!!! What A Jam that would be!!!! Hey Guys?? No, seriously, I would like to see BASIA, Anything, alone, singing something, touring, recording.\ Ah , the frustration. I think touring would sincerely stimulate her career with the old stuff since so many like us, need to get a fix of her. Never have seen her live and I am really anxious to. Dirk, Diane, or anybody get a message to her!!!!! This length of absence is too long! Even Renaissance, who I love, is recording and back together again! And did the idea of a Chat Room just fall to the waist side?? And no picture from me! Very scary thought!! Might find my head on someone else's body on one of the sex sights. Hmmm, then again!
