  "Ok, we'll play one for the folks who don't really know what 'jazz' is 
and who think once you've heard 'When The Saints Go Marching In' you've 
heard it all' and then we'll play one for the people who really know 
and appreciate what jazz is all about . . . namely ourselves!" 


No Bill that's playing one for Happily ever after Married couples who 
perhaps never understood that Jazz was pretty much formulated and 
created in an atmosphere of and maybe even buy and for sex, drugs, 
alcohol and dancing women, and "Experimentation"   They have heard 
Saints and they like it and that's all the jazz some of them need to 
know.

They also got married and had Sex for the first time, liked it and 
determined that they now were sexy and experienced lovers.

Different strokes for different folks,  Hope the Hell I don't have one 
any time soon. :))

   And truthfully there are a lot more of them in most audiences than 
those who really understand, appreciate and give a hoot about what we 
are playing.   Hence the phrase many artists use ,
"The more you folks drink the better we sound"   But I have seen the 
situation reversed too. :))   The more some bands drink the better they 
sound, or at least think they sound :))
 
  The musician playing is the ultimate audience. If the musicians are 
playing jazz and there's nobody else there to hear it, so what! You're 
playing jazz and that's good enough for you!!!

Bolderdash, that's the equivelent of making love by your self :))   But 
then again there are many musicians who do just that, even with an 
audience present.  :))   But certainly not Washboardist, at least none 
that I have heard. :))



Cheers,

Old Mr Foolishiness  Wiggins
 
As the strains of Kenny G & Louis playing WWW live, together ooze form 
the radio behind me on the Smooth Jazz Station.  Wow Louis sounds just 
like he did on his original recording  imagine that.
