[Dixielandjazz] Beginner sit-ins

[Robert S. Ringwald]

Been looking for the e-mail and finally found it.

Under the subject line of "
" Steve Barbone's entire last paragraph (Not snipped, not taken out of 
context)
reads"

 """""
Bottom line? The only way to become a competent jazz musician is to perform
live with a professional band and ANY young person who wants to explore that
avenue should get the chance as I see it.
"""""

What ever happened to "practice, practice, practice?"

Steve, are you sure that:

"The only way to become a competent jazz musician is to perform live with a
professional band...?"

Perhaps you meant

"Getting a chance to perform live with professional musicians is a big help 
to young musicians on their way to becoming competent professionals 
themselves.  However, there is no substitute for Practice, practice, 
practice."?
