If everyone is playing, who's listening? appreciating? pushing the players to improve?
I probably made a much better audience than musician (ghod knows, when I try to dance, I confirm my position as queen of 2 left feet & counts out loud), but change is good. I console myself with the thought that even if I don't get to the level that I can be called a musician, I will still be a better audience for all my so talented friends. :o)
