"Irregardless" you knew what I meant!
Just funnin' ya, Dave; I knew it wasn't the word I wanted but couldn't think of the precisely exact one at the moment. (You must watch F1 racing on TV... seems like "penultimate" is the favorite word of the announcers...especially when the cars are bearing down on the white flag!).
Oh, yes, Dave... I agree with you on the sound. For me, the instrument has to sound "nice and rich" to my ears as well as those of the audience; otherwise how would I ever learn to adjust my sound?... or would I? (Anybody know what Wynton hears when he's playing his M1 Abrahms?... in addition to the cash register?)
