[Dixielandjazz] IAJE - TJEN - Some thoughts (Martin McKay please respond)

[Mike]

So which is worse?

A teacher who can play well but not teach

OR

A teacher who can teach but not play? Is it possible to always 
be able to learn how to teach? You can't always learn how to play.

I'm not attacking you Martin, I would just like some insight.
