I fully agree with you that making the Lowe tribute the best that it could be ought to take priority over any other concerns. And I am looking forward to hearing the new version of "Cruel To Be Kind" with Gomm singing over the Dairy Kings' backing, along with all of the other tracks that were listed the other day. I was just noting the oddity of Gomm's appearance on the album doing that particular song as a general comment, not as a complaint. Thanks for taking the time to respond. And, by the way, I really enjoy your music. Gregory Sager
