I'm with you,. John H. When I say "audience" I mean someone to listen to music, view Art and dance, hear or read poetry... I could have titled this thread asking about "listener" instead of "audience" but I didn't want to limit it to music. I am really talking more about the creative process.

I don't want to move this into the religious realm for more than a moment, but for those who believe in God, it makes sense that as the Original Creator, he would create an "audience." We may be a lousy audience at times, but I can understand why (if you believe in God) He'd want someone to enjoy his sunsets...
