[NewMusic] acoustic vs. electronic

[Barry Threw]

Everybody has their music.  I am not advocating that you do anything 
different than what you are doing.  I just gave my personal thoughts on 
the way things are headed.

I also said I like contrabass.

I enjoy your music, I really didn't mean to have my comments suggest 
that anyones music or methods were invalid, although I can see how they 
were construed as such.  I apologize for that.

I began this thread by saying that I think that the current instruments 
will evolve, and there will come a time when they are quite different 
from what they are currently, and most likely integrated with 
electronics, and stand by that assertion.

Maybe I'm wrong.  I'm prepared for that too.
