Hey DQ, there were quite a few of his songs that didn't strike me right away. As a matter of fact, I'm listening to one right now ("Circle of Steel"). I know you're not a newbie GL lover, but, just keep listening to it, without skipping the ones you don't care for. I do that. After about the 4th to 10th listening, yeah, they grow on me. They may never become some of my favorites, like Don Quixote or Seven Island Suite, but, they get "up" on the chart with me. Now, I can listen to Sundown without skipping any tunes. Regarding APPT, at first listen, some of the songs could be dismissed as silly (Uncle Toad) or of not much value (Boathouse), but, after awhile, they all carve out their own special place in my heart.
