   Funny.  In my younger days I was a big fan of Neil Diamond up to his "Stones"   
   Lp in '71.  Even saw him in concert once.  Then he decided that there was more   
   $$ to be made singing schmaltzy love songs & that was it for me.  Now I never   
   listen to him at    
   all.  Though his BANG recordings aren't "too" bad. Funny you mentioned   
   Santana.  I enjoyed his music up to his " Welcome" Lp.  Then, like most   
   musicians, he ran out of ideas.  Look at the Rolling Stones.  They've been   
   putting out the same album over &    
   over since "Sticky Fingers"!  Would FZ, if still alive, be putting out Big   
   Band records of all the Classics? Or be putting out Doo Wop cds ad   
   nauseum??                     TOG
