I understand Larry's pain and/or annoyance at being shined on by friends. As some here know, this incomprehensibly happened to me with the parents of Melody Hollis - just did a complete 180, no explanation, until I finally told all of them to take a hike. The mother wrote me twice after that, and both times I tried to get things back on track, but alas, they have gone to some weird land that I want no part of - and I'm not the only one they've done this with, and Melody is the one who suffers - I had been VERY good to that little child, giving her fourteen Kritzerland shows in a row, an act, a CD, challenging her with harder and harder material - and her mother took it all away from her. Bravo mom.
