I agree; I would be ecstatic about _whatever_ version of Lifehouse Pete
might want to do, just as long as the price he pays is not another
nervous breakdown!  Pete does review and revise his work, and I'm hoping
that he chooses Lifehouse as his next major renovation.

I agree with this point as well, as I had four wonderful evenings to
monitor Roger's voice this summer!
