The Music business is a cruel and cold business and I very much appreciate all the positive support you all give each other. (As it should be) but in my minds eye appropriately worded constructive criticism would provide a platform to broaden the artist's horizons and development if in fact it was intended only as a suggestion or reccomendation for improvement.

I have been a performing artist for more years than I care to mention and I will offer this.  I learned more and improved as a player when I payed attention to the less than glowing reviews I received.   

Aa a reviewer with no known credentials never give a bad review to berate or demean a fellow artist but rather suggest things that might stimulate the artist to explore alternatives.  A critical review is not a bad review but it should be an honest one.

Just my thoughts for all you aspiring artists.  Keep up the good work I have listened to a bunch of excellent material and talents across so may genre's.
