Read that again, because that's what we should all be doing. Gifted 
people still have to work at it to become great.
Work equals results. Ability to work is more important than musical 
ability in the long run, in my opinion. Talent plus work equals 
greatness and the great ones do the work. Look at Mr. Bonofiglio and Mr. 
Papparozzi, two members of this list.
I have little talent, but I have a lot of stubborn. I will never be 
great, probably not good.. but adequate enough to play with a band now 
and then and have some fun.
My nickel's worth.
