I got a piece of advice about parenting that applies here, and also to 
music: the more you say, the less they hear.  This was intended to 
advise a parent to keep their speeches to their children consise and to 
the point, but the same principle can be applied to music.  You might 
think that by playing more you're saying more, but the truth is that 
your audience is probably hearing less.  

Guilty as charged...
