List mates & Nancy:

Yes, probably happens more than musos care to admit. It may be internally
generated also, you know, like it's not that "you turn me on baby", it's that "I
turn myself on when I think of you, baby."  A small difference perhaps, but
important to understanding self and delivering an energetic performance, musical
or otherwise.

Mind over matter?
