Actually, Bob, I think there are probably very few of us who don't like what you're talking about. But that's not where the opportunities are.

Playing to a respectful "listening room" is usually a privilege enjoyed only by people who have earned their reputation by years of playing all the places that AREN'T concert halls.

If you can pull it off without taking the usual route, I say more power to ya! You've got more on the ball than I ever will!

(and I say that sincerely)


PS, the Sierra Hull clip was AWESOME!
