>Jerry,

As a self-taught weekend warrior I must agree with you.  While I admire
those with technical skills far beyond my reach,  I much prefer to listen to
those who play with a feeling for the music.  Of course, there are great
ones who manage to excel in both technical ability  and emotional
interpretation.
If I had had a more orthodox musical education perhaps my preference would
lean the other way.....who knows?
