Hey Marc,

Thanks for your comments. You're quite right about " how we're brought up ". It's just what you were listening to, and those influences do permeate what you're writing or producing.

Me ? I kinda like country, but absolutly love Southern gospel, so I hear a muscal simlarity between the two, and try to mix and mingle the two, to create something which is pleasant to my ears. I say pleasant to MY ears, as I think it's a combo, that technically works. Wether it's pleasant to the listener is a whole different matter.

So are genres important ? To me, no, not really. That's only bcause I don't have a great deal of money riding on the outcome. If I did, then I'd play the game, and learn from those who have gone before me. Interesting thread.

cheers, niteshift
