Thanks, folks. I'm not fishing for compliments here, Jeri! (But thanks anyway...)I'm more curious about whether and what other musicians here have thought about this question in general, not as it specifically pertains to us.
I like your comment, Marcello, about having something made by us that we can give to friends and family. I never looked at our doing music as being like an art or craft that you do out of love. Craftspeople give the work of their hands as gifts; I guess a recording is the same sort of work of love and skill.
