Back in the day when you were studying with Carvin did he ever say some thing that would open your mind up to endless possibilities then you sit with your mouth open and he Just step back and say "speak" and all you could say was
"damn" if so I'm glad I'm getting the same treatment as the greats that have come through his school
Respect
