JD:

You spoke eloquently regarding Kim's style of singing and playing and I admire that. It takes real courage to stand up and say exactly what you believe when the "general tone" of several posts before you had a negative tinge.

I'm hopeful that Kim will not be so "put off" by all our well-meant bashing that he won't return. He certainly handled it well in his initial response. I would have melted into the woodwork... LOL! A thick skin is certainly an asset when it comes to songwriting and "displaying one's wares" in public. Thanks for speaking up.
