I had to look it up and found a whole new religion for the 1st time. I'm shocked about that but impressed that you so appropriated the term so rightly and casually as a perfect metaphor: re the dilemma all players face when confronted with a performance. Nonjudgmental should be the goal !! and the Kipling quote is right and truly informative in this arena and an absolute prerequisite. <br /><br />Love your playing/sound. I hope I can hear you perform sometime. I'm sorry I had to miss the last one.<br />Thanks for writing your great blogs. You obviously have great depth—Thanks again.
