So what you are saying here is- It ain't what you do it's the way how
you do it.

Dan Augustine and others--

Wow! Beautifully and wisely stated, Dan!

     It makes NO difference how much experience you have with the
style of music. ("King Tzu confounded by the question of a dolt.")
Like i said, it's all HOW you do it.  It don't matter if your band
averages 70 years in music, or only 2. It don't matter who they
played with.  What matters is: can they play the notes, and can they
play the notes such that the audience (and they) will be moved by
them?
     Sermon over.
