Hi Paul, I am not trying to provoke, merely trying to present a different point of view. Whether you like the video or not, it could prove useful as a means to promote an approach to creating music that we on this list share. That is all. You're certainly entitled to your own opinion (which you have expressed explicitly on a multitude of levels), I am sure it is well suited to you.
