    Compton and Reischman are the two best in my opinion. Niether will ever get the IBMA awaard as they are not very good "self" promoters and they aren't flashy, machine-gun players. I really do think they are both players players who play to move their audience, not to amaze them. I never really liked the circus.

    Just my opinion, but it's right.
