my choice
IF I go to the open mic tonight, it will likely be because I want to…I DO wanna play even if it means playing behind people who maybe aren’t quite as good as *I* want them to be…I guess talent is in the ear of the beholder…I’m still not sure (after all these years) if I’m any good or not…I think the anser is “a lot of the time”…I am not yet the biggest RUSH fan, but I’ve NEVER denied their musicianship…whereas some of my “friends”…it seems like on ANY level, (local, national or international) that which is mediocre is celebrated as exceptional…not always, but generally…it may not be true in REAL Jazz, or Classical Music, but it’s certainly true in Pop Music (or is that Pop Muzik?) as far as *I can tell…Different ears for different peers I guess…Priority One is to have FUN…
