Putting people (like me) in boxes is how you start a conversation. I have no problem with that if you have no problem with my wriggling out of it!

If you are the kind of dealer I am, who only sells what he likes (not a great way to make money, by the way but it does tend to keep you honest), you are apt to move about a bit. You get used to one presentation because it does something really well that you value highly, it becomes your favorite/norm, then somebody (John Geisen, Creston Funk) tricks you into hearing something really good that's different, and you..move about a bit. Because everything you have has its virtues, you're likely to move back and then about some more.

None of this matters in dealing with customers because you just play the stuff and let them figure out where they are. But as a pontificator, it can make you sound like a cad who plays the field. Or a politician. You have known me long enough to have looked in on various points in my odyssey, so you should know how unfaithful a lover I can be. I would like to think I have been on a generation long odyssey toward Ithaca. But in fact, I've just been a peripatetic like the rest of us, attracted first by the sirens/gods of beauty, then the sirens of clarity, then the sirens of warmth and savoriness-- Aphrodite, Apollo, Dionysus. I'm never attracted for long by anything that's not really good at what it does. But there are a lot of different things to do well.
