[Dixielandjazz] Give yourself a little more credit

"but it'd be nice, instead, if you could all just pat yourselves on the
back for knowing as much as you do.
Give yourselves more credit for years of study and experience."

List mates:

ABSOLUTELY.  I will never forget the gist of Kenny Davern's patient (for
him) response to a fan who said to him after a concert: "You are
sensational, it must be wonderful to have such a gift."  Kenny as gently
as he could said something like; Yes, I appreciate the gift. Plus the
million hours of gigs and practice that honed it.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
