I want to publicly thank those, including John Dutton, for pointing me in the direction of Doug's article. It is long (though its length is appropriate to its scope), thoughtful and I find that I don't feel completely in sync with all that he brings into the discussion (religion, in particular). For all of these reasons, including my discomfort with some of his premises, I consider it essential reading. I knew him only slightly in the four years that we played together in the Goldman Band and had visited his website at a time predating this addition to it, so reading it comes as somewhat of a revelation.
It may take a half hour to absorb initially (and probably much longer to digest) but it pleases me to imagine the upgrade in the level of communication and sharing that would result (and I am not limiting this to the hornlist) if we all dropped what we were doing and took the time to enter Doug Yeo's frame of mind.
