I got to see Gerald Swindle and Greg Hackney AND Jason Quinn in

that
matter, Jason Quinn wears more jewerly than my wife! LOL!


Wow. Totally opposite impression from what I've gotten. Gerald is actually
kind of shy and uses humor to overcome it. And Jason, despite his
appearance, was nothing but dignified on stage when it comes to his
behavior. My wife -- who likes jewelry on guys about as much as a thorn in
her foot -- even remarked that his behavior was a pleasant surprise, and
she
was actually rooting for him.


Maybe that is just their stage personas, but Gerald and Jason were both
quite excitable acting and raising cain when it was their turn under the
lights. I like the guys, I really do, didn't mean to convey anything
different. But none of them came across as shy, so maybe it is something
that they do to get through being in the public eye. I can understand that.
I think all the young guys and newcomers (that may not be so young) are
assests to an already great sport, that's all.
