Wow Robert why did I waste all of that time commuting from
Philadelphia to New York twice a month. Why did I go to Temple University.
Why did I go to Augusta to study with Howard Levy why do I do scales and
and arpeggios each day. Why do I study composition, arranging and orchestration
now. Man I must be stupid LOL

Damn, I wish I read this before I was so stupid as to go out and learn harmony, and reading, orchestration and writing charts, etc. and then scales and articulation and tone. Boy was I dumb. And I just don't have any fun playing the harmonica because I learned all that stupid stuff. And all those other musicians that play sax, guitar, piano, etc., boy they are also really dumb for learning all that music stuff and with teachers and lessons and music school, wow what a waste of time.
My suggestion is just to pick up a violin and just learn all the fiddle licks you can. That makes a great fiddle player for me. Just have fun with it and above stay as ignorant as you possible can of anything that smacks of learning about music.
Harmonically yours,
Robert
