	[O'Neal, Kevin W.] Sounds like it's going to be a mix.  If they are
going to record new material between legs of the tour, wouldn't it be nice
to have a live version or two on the new album?!

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  I thought it kicked ass....really!  I was
funk-a-fied!!  It was powerful.  You have to love an artist that expands
his/her horizons in this way.  I thought the orchestrations were great too.
Wish Pete had taken more Who songs and converted them into orchestrations.
	This Lifehouse collection, I believe, is Pete's legacy.  It shows
once and for all his true genius.  The man is a visionary.  I haven't found
a dud yet!!
	My friends are going to shoot me if I don't stop talking about PETE!
	But damn, show me someone else that is kicking this kind of powerful
music out. There IS no one else!

	Stay in Tune,
	Kevin in  VT
