Dear Mark:

I can only hope that Kevin Young (of Buzzard Ball) is actually a very young actor, and that his diatribe can be chalked up to youthful folly.  I think that when one has been around for a while (euphemistically speaking), one gains a little more objectivity about one’s own work and the work of everyone concerned with a given production. That’s all I have to say on that. As to your web site, I am not clear on why anyone would have a problem navigating it! I have always found it user friendly, and a favorite spot to visit.

Thank you Ms Siegel for your comments. I am neither young nor inexperienced, merely passionate. You are correct, however that it may have inappropriate for me to complain. I was careful not to make personal references about my own performance, I cannot judge that. I would bow to my new personal favorite critic, Mr. Truvin. I have learned that his integrity is above reproach and he is an honorable man. Your response is also most welcome as I like exchange of thought. Even great critics can succumb to subjective judgments that are not always fair, and that is how I felt upon reading his review. I regret the terseness of my comments, but not the content. I'll not be so rude again.

Thanks,
Kevin Young
