I wanted to send Jon Behm an apology for my 2 a.m. rant about the wrong reviewer after all. Now I understand you are not John Brehm from the strib. Accept my apologies, and I will pay better attention in the future.

Sincerely,

Your new friend Clay

Clay, thank you for your concern – I will certainly act differently now that I know my every move is being watched and documented.

That being said, this was CD Review – how was I supposed to “bring you into the show” when there was no show?

I am not interested in trying to create a “positive spin” just for no other reason than to make for more happy reading. The purpose of four takes is to bring to the fold four different viewpoints, as positive or negative as they may be. trying to paint a record I hate in a positive light is called dishonest journalism.

Dear Mr Behm,Do you have problems at home ? Because every time I read an article of yours it seems you have this inner rage, and that your very closed minded preset critique already has been written up in your head.

I never feel like you bring me into the show or that you even saw the entire thing in the first place. It doesn’t seem you listen to an album more than once in order to allow them to grow on you, are you too cool for that?

Please do use all a favor and try a more positive spin and talk about the subject at hand and not some side show or sporting event you may have seen on your way in to your reserved seat, which (by the way) I have witnessed you vacate more than once mid-show

I’m not deaf, though I might only have a partial clue.
