[Harp-L] martial arts and head cutting

[Joel Fritz <jfritz666@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems to me that martial arts training is aimed at learning not to 
think.  It's like the Yogi Berra quote: "How can you think and hit at 
the same time?"  Both have a Zen flavor.

Head cutting is a personal thing.  Generally a good player doesn't 
really have to do much but play to show superiority.  If two players who 
are about equal want to compete it's a matter of individual 
psychological makeup.   I don't really care if I can bury people. I'm 
more interested in what I sound like to me. Others have a strong 
competitive drive and do care about it.  Neither mental set is wrong as 
long as the competition doesn't stem from or lead to personal animosity.

Disclaimer--On harp I can't bury too many people except guys named Gus. 
 I think it's different in singing but it's a matter of taste.
