Thread Name: Are you a musician or a showman?
Subject: RE: Are you a musician or a showman?
A Musiciian Or a Showman ??.. Interesting . i have been reading Issac Stern's book lately and he talks about what it takes to make music WITH people. In other words being with the people you are playing for.Making that kind of conection is only being respectfull to the room you are playing in but takes Ego force. i played for Stern once at a picnick and he complimented me on haveing alot of heart. (So my skill was'nt even on the same planet as Sterns he liked the energy of the comunication that was going on. )
      Remember the story about the tree falling in the forest? Well one set of ears will hear a musician two sets hear a showman. All the best to all here. Guy
