Yes, Roger...I think far too many folks make recordings because they CAN...and I don't see that as sufficient reason in and of itself.

And Big Mick, a good friend has convinced me that most of the time "Good enough" is a saner,healthier and more achievable way to live Life than "Perfect"...seeing as I don't expect to achieve Divinity anytime soon, Perfect is not an alternative!

It's hard to give up impossibly high standards, sometimes, and you always wonder if friends who say they like your music are saying it because they're friends. I'm a faculty brat, and my Dad was a real hard grader, so I've always felt that an easy "A" was meaningless...I'd rather get a "B" from someone who's a hard, fair grader, than an "A+" from someone who gives everyone an A.
