Emily,

Well, thank you so much for your comment about my topic starters. That is so thoughtful of you! I try to ask questions that I think will have a broad interest. I try to get up close without getting too personal. I have found the replies to all of my threads to be extremely interesting and educational. I have to thank all of you fine folks for that.

I am in complete awe of your musical background! You are so incredibly talented. Now, I think I know why! I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old. Just before my 13th birthday, I made my first dollar playing out professionally. I do not have one minute of formal music education. But, I do think I have a fair amount of God-given talent. I think it is important that we develop and use those talents He gives us. He gave us those talents for a reason. That's my opinion. Others may differ. And that's okay!

You are a talented and very warm person, Emily. I admire your skills and your aspirations. Your presence only adds to the charm and comfort of wherever you may be. Thanks for all you contribute. Here's wishing the best of everything for you in 2007!

Alan
