   Me too, although what you said in another message about being loud being a   
   selling point got me wondering...how may dB would they prefer and how many   
   dB is TOOOOOO loud?   
   And for that matter, how many dB is too quiet?   
   I guess I'll just have to get an SPL meter because that's the field I spent   
   11 in and it's what I'm used to and besides, I'd rather do it that way, the   
   Right Way, than guess!

   The covers will always be there for anyone, but Originals really make an   
   awesome impression - been playing some more of what I wrote and demo   
   recorded for passengers...they can't believe it and just Love 'em...so I   
   Know an audience will too!

   I've never met a CopyCat 'purist', because if they were actually going to   
   devote so much effort to getting themselves to sound like someone   
   else....even down to the individual recording, they'd soon realize they   
   could devote those same efforts to Originals, and more productively to boot!
