Their is no point in having great technique, if like KG you have got no
taste!
Either that or he's to busy making music from couples and old people (see
Waynes World (2?) for typical audience). Decent tunes would take a large
chunk of the profit, and alienate the majority of the public who don't
want to actually listen to music.
Si
P.S. Even though I have shown my dislike of KG, is their an album with him
jamming with proper jazz type players(giving thier all)?
