Dear Bill,  you really shouldn't open open up yourself by publicly 
asking a question like that (..What's missing?), because we may just 
decide to actually tell you what's missing in your musical ability to 
discern tone colors, especially since you are primarily a washboard 
player.  I am constantly amazed that over all the many, many, many 
many, many, years that you continue to admit it, making you, like 
Emperor Norton, quite a historical figure.  "What's missing?" you ask  
- - -next time we meet, I promise to buy you a drink and tell you, but 
will not allow you to reciprocate in my being told what's missing , as 
my psyche is far too fragile. :) :)
