Pat, I know I have been somewhat quite on the whole matter. It is by intention.

I know, that you know, the Kübler-Ross five stages of grief, which are the series of emotional stages experienced when faced with death and dying: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. In a way, the realization of my poor musical skills after 20 years of studying and playing is akin to a death for me to deal with.

I am between denial and anger right now and I don't want to say anything stupid. For example, that I blame BIAB for this since it made making music too easy when I should have been working harder at it. Musicianship is not an entitlement that anyone can buy. But, I don't want to say that...

So I am dealing with this on my own right now. I will work it out and then be back soon.
