Music can be transformative, utterly transformative. The act of music is utterly transformative.

Understanding is simple. Knowing is complicated.

To me, Bill's musical heart is in Earthworks, in the jazz they are playing, in the acoustic kit.

Purely by hard work, one can become an artist.

I continue to explain that plot inconsistencies in B movies are consistent, and should not be allowed to undermine one's enjoyment of the action, nor the fundamental credibility of the storyline: the good & bad guys are clearly delineated & easily recognizable, the hero duffs over the baddies, things blow up loudly & spectacularly, the good guy wins. Entirely credible.

If you are playing repertoire material, you're stuck. There's not huge amounts you can do.

We know others to the extent that we know ourselves.
