I'd like to hear you play Marion. All musicians should learn when to not play. Contrast is important. Rests are important.

Music teachers should work rests in gradually, teaching us the sixty-fourth rest right up to the whole rest. Sixty-fourth rests shouldn't be too traumatic for the guitar players in our song circle. After whole rests, we could learn larger rests, like wait-for-the-bridge or take-a-nap or listen-quietly or an isn't-that-a-cappella-tune-lovely-without-our-unnecessary-plunky-appoggiatura?
