That group is really good. I know my band just barely scrapes the surface of avant-garde and I would never want to compete with groups like this.

Actually, I found you on here. I remember re-reading my comment and did not know why I wrote myspace (probably cuz I was on myspace while I was making that comment).

People are often intimidated by me, also. It usually dimishes after the first encounter.
