I always like reading what you write Barry,

Baseball used to be called the "haunted" game - in that every player is in effect "competing" against the reputation and accomplishments of all those in the game before them. When you see it this way, I think thats a good thing. It certainly helps to remember the similarities of human experience, and thus forget that awful tendency to "think we're different today." I'm not sure many of us see music that way, as fun as it might be to hear virtuosic duets between Farkas and Kreibel, or Jacobs and Torchinsky, if we REALLY wanna enjoy those duets we should plan to sit in during the rehearsals of Gabriel's brass choir...by then we'll ALL have a different attitude about our playing (hopefully, more of us get "it" BEFORE then....)
