Oh....absolutely Mike. When it becomes a drudge..time to put the harp down. :)

Hey Miles was Miles. What can one say? At times tended to be a bit cocky &/or arrogant, BUT..the kid could play. Like making a statement such as "I have changed the course of music 3 or 4 times". Ha ha, that's actually funny.

I LIKE that..I'm going to steal that. 

> Horns are Horns Joe :~} 

Yup. Used to play a little trumpet. Horns ARE horns. Time IS money.   (chuckle)

He told me that the one thing that came up repeatedly was that people said they didn't practice enough.  "In fact," he said, "It was almost like a 12-step meeting for people who don't practice:  'Hi, my name is Liz, and I don't practice,' 'Hi, my name is Beth, and I don't practice...'"
