Subject: RE: Looking For A GoodTime?....Call Bonnie
Bonnie,

There is something that is missing in your playing--how do I know that? Because you told me-you are not doing something that you want to be doing--No one knows what that is except you--

What you have to do is figure out what it is that you aren't doing, and then focus on learning it--Maybe you feel like you want to be able to improvise, or maybe you want to play in a different style than you do, maybe you feel like you want to be able to play by ear, or maybe you just aren't satisfied with your repertoire--

After a certain point, there aren't absolute standards of what whether you are good or not--and there are no standard directions for what you need to learn--you are the one who has to decide--
