Dave,

I had a great rant going here and then somehow I lost it, sorry. You won't get the benefit of my wry and wonderful wit as I gently suggested you get a grip.

Get out of the Ivory Tower and play amongst the lowly who are glad to have others who continually amaze them with their ability. I have learned that great skill doesn't make a great musician. I have also larned that great musicians aren't always great people. I'd rather play with a buch of people who are continually trying to learn something new than with anyone who is convinced they'd learned enough.

Don
