I have always appreciated and enjoyed music with melody, music that's simple, or at least not complex in a contrived way. I might even go so far as to say, "if it's not melodic, it's not music and if it's overly or unneccessarily complex, then it isn't good music". UNDERSTATED is, perhaps the best way for me to describe it. There seems to be a serious lack of this type of music today. And when compared to the music of yesteryear, 30, 40, 50 and more years ago most of today's stuff seriosly lacks the melding of fine music with superior lyrics. ~ Arthur Rowe
