...insightful, Peter. And by the by, those 'personal flaws' you mentioned, that physical skillwork brings out....In a less judgmental universe, those little imperfect nuances are called style, to wit: Andre Segovia and Lightnin' Hopkins both play sixteenth notes in their music. Segovia's notes are precise and his phrasing is perfect, while Lightnin's notes are choppy and, to the musical elite, "sloppy." But to me, Lightnin' is infinitely more interesting to listen to because of his imperfections(style). Zappa's observation that "round things are boring" seems to fit well here.
