Subject: RE: What is improvisation ?
Bert! You've hit the nail on the head. When you're playing blues and you make a mistake, you just say "it's jazz, you wouldn't understand". When playing an Irish tune and you make several mistakes, you say "That's the south-eastern Sligo version". If I mess up a verse on a traditional ballad, I tell 'em I learned it from Sandy!
