This line of discussion reminds me very much of the discussions we had long
ago after " Hall of the Mountain Grill" tour came around.
I remember such things being said as" What's with this violin?"
and basically I didn't hear too much positive about it at the time. ( I for
one, being a young, long haired metal-head was one of the ones that were
negative towards it.) Needless to say, as time passed, HotMG has stood the
test of time and remains one of their finer acheivements. I feel that time
will do the same for the present configuration of the band. HW has always been
a band of changes, and this is just another change in the metamorphisis of
the Hawk. I am only familiar with the Area S4 cd, and have seen Ron in the
last tour, and I think he brings something different to the table. I like
his style, and for those of you who don't, why worry, there will more than
likely be a different singer/lineup in another couple albums anyway:)
