Did I enjoy Pat Fraley's episode? Well, because the skill level is so far beyond me, I probably won't absorb as much as others, but certainly I gleaned the idea of how to better structure my thinking with regard to genre/style.

Pat could read the phone book and I'd be glad to hear it. Always GOODe stuff!

Thanks Pat for showing some of the subtleties between Genre's and style. It seems to shout "less is more"

Now if only I could get some of the auditions you do!

;-)

I'll get the lawns mowed and the cars washed this weekend.

Pat,

Thanks for reminding me that sometimes it does pay to go that little "extra"....it's one more way to stand out from the crowd!
