Hi Mark:
Well, it was more a joke that a fact statement. This is, indeed, a dead issue,
although some people love to try from time to time a miracoulous resucitation.
Anyway, you are right there are people closed to accept the new facts. I guess
there is some psychological factor here. Let me explain myself: if you are, say,
a jazz guitarrist and after many troubles you cannot get to be so good as the
best two or three, there is a chance you will stuck yourself in one of the
following paths:
a) To say obstinately that, after all, no one of those top players is so good as
a guy that passed away 30 years ago.
b) You begin to consider all kind of jazz guitar playing as unworthy the
trouble. Better to play fandangos...
Do you copy me?
Fernando
