Hi TC, I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I "got mad" cuz I wasn't mad at all! I rarely get angry when it comes to artistic decisions and opinions. Life is too short! I do try to listen to what my colleagues have to say and have made many changes to songs based on those thoughts, but I'm not perfect and I can certainly be stubborn. But I do think I owe you an apology because I was so interested in explaining why I made my production decisions that I made you think I wasn't receptive to your ideas at all. Far to the contrary, I respect you and your opinion, TC, and I listen carefully to eveything you say. One might even say I mull what you say over and over in my mind, cuz I really do value your opinion. If I'm gonna give you a bunch of reasons why I did what I did, that shouldn't stop me from making sure you know that of course I hear what you are saying and value it, and so I apologize for giving you the wrong impression by just saying that "I appeciate your opinion" and "I respect that you don't like the mix" but went no further.  As to "You always do a good job but the scale slides, my friend, and I am going to give it to you straight. I want the same from you when you listen to my tunes - don't hold back." well thanks, but I will need to figure out why that gives me a sense of impending doom, LOL.. For one, I feel awful cuz I can't critique you back in the same "in depth" way cuz I am listening for pleasure, lately, when I come here, and so really couldn't return the favor, though I know you'd like that--so I am sorry for that, too. But critique away, and don't worry cuz I will either agree with you, or disagree and then give you ten boring reasons why I did what I did--sticking to my guns, as it were..and I'll try to remember that to you "just my opinion" goes without saying and that you mean that even though you don't say it, though I admit it was good (for me) to hear you say it. Are we good? I hope so! Sincerly, Mike
