Ted, -just want to thank you so much for saying this. -It seems that so often, art and music becomes some sort of competition, when by it's nature, it's a personal expression, which, is as unique as we are. -Everybody's got a story to tell, and it's not a matter of one telling a "better" story than another, but a different story. -a personal and unique story. Obviously, one might feel better with a higher level of confidence in one's idea of one's abilities, technique and/or experience and such, but it's important not to let that presumed fear stop you from doing what you enjoy and need to. -just my thoughts, of course... Thanks again, have a wonderful evening!...
