What has performance come to when people care more about how well you look than how well you play? Oh well. Dreamy Eyed image, here I come!
I just saw this for the first time.
Benjamin, t'was ever thus. It's called 'hormones'. They're powerful stuff.
I don't think I can help you much with the 'dreamy-eyed look' from where I am. Do you have any female friends about your age who would be willing to give you some pointers? Anyway, good luck with it.
