    I can damnwellguaranteeya that it is 90% hard work and desire, and 10%(or less)talent...matter of fact, I don't know what talent is. Everybody's got rhythm IMHO; figuring out how to make it intelligible, so to speak, is the work.
    Nothing cool about it; tho, I 'preciate it.
    Now, computers..that's cool. Dragging a little icon across the screen and putting it in another place, along with all the info it represents. Man! That's pure magic!

    Yeah. Well, to me, part of talent is the mental part - making it challenging (so as to not be bored), but still appealing, so others will want to appreciate it, and creative. That's where I find Trane and Parker and Diz and Monk and ... so on to have been incredibly talented - they were all excellent musicians but it's what they made and what they did within it that is awe inspiring to me. For instance, Giant Steps is probably Trane's most challenging physical work, but it's good for just what it is. The modes, and then his spiritual work, mean something. Dizzy had bad tone unmuted, and Miles Davis was, to me, an average trumpet player. He flubbed a lot of notes that you won't hear the average college undergrad flub. But his body of music still stands up to most anything.

    I play a mean see-and-say. hey you guitar geeks...what do you play? What's your setup? Do any of you actually play an electric instrument, even if it's an acoustic with pickups? Pedals? amp? I'm becoming more of a gearhead than a musician as a guitar player, but luckily it's not my main instrument. The see and say, then the sax, then the kazoo, then the guitar.

    I took piano lessons for 8 years and went to a fine arts high school. I don't play anymore, it's difficult with kids. One of these days I hope to get into it again.

    8 years is great! If either of my kids want to play piano, I might have to take lessons again, too.

    I was threatened into piano lessons and practicing for 'bout 6 years when I was a kid. My mother(rip) was a nazi in this area.:D
    I thank her for it now. IMHO anyone going into music should have their roots, so to speak, in piano[rather that another, albeit popular, instument].
