Here's an interesting email we received which we don't agree with. Still, it's a blast to read as it makes little sense to devote energies to something the writer clearly doesn't get off on.

"You guys must be out of your minds to have Buddy Merrill on your site as a guitar legend. It is really a crime to let that man continue to receive recognition for his amateurish guitar playing. I bet if you listened to his "Guitar Express" CD released in 98 full of his amateurish original materials you would retract him as a legend from your site! His albums never were accepted by the public and he was on the level of elevator/coffee shop commericial releases. You call this a legend?

He has been chosen as the amateur musician of the year on www.amateur- musician.com which will be up in a few days. Here is the article as it stands now."
