Marty, I'm glad you like his early vocals!
The reasons I don't like DD's current vocals are mainly two:
* Terrible choices of cover songs
* Horrible arrangements to above mentioned terrible covers
The reasons I don't like his current instros is a different story.

I'll have to listen to Dick's "Summertime Blues" with dementia in

demented. I like 'em as much as the early vocals.
