[Dixielandjazz] Technique vs. Feeling

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Totally understandable Jim and when it all magically comes together for 
any musician it is indeed a great feeling,
of satisfaction and accomplishment no matter what the level of 
competency they may have on their particular instrument.

I have always found that the better players I associate myself with the 
better I PLAY, as it somehow makes many of us rise to the occasion and 
do sometimes what we don't think we are even capable of doing.  :))

Feeding off each other seems to often produce magic for everyone and 
that makes it all worthwhile at least to bands that seek to enjoy their 
music and strive to please the audience while having fun themselves.   
It just seems to often fall apart when we start to take it all a tad 
bit too seriously.  At least in my opinion.  which has been known to be 
a bit warped by some standards from time to time  :))

Cheers,

Tom

    I don't really like that Subject title, as it looks as though it has 
to be
one or the other.
An approach no one has given this particular subject is from the 
musician's
angle....

....believe me, there is nothing worse than not being able to get an 
idea
out of the horn because you need that bit more of technique to make it
happen!

It happens to everyone once in awhile.  Whether they will admit to it is
another matter!

Jim
