50 - 60 years hence, we are still listening to it. Even in Elevators!!!

I had an art teacher who defined art as such: Learning your limitations and using them to your best advantage. Your mileage may vary.

Thank you for this! I’m with it 
. We’re all different and that’s what gives us all unique voices. It’s all good to study the masters. I do it all the time. BUT we also need to play to our strengths and embrace diversity!
Diversity in the form of opportunity yes but the outcome of effort is what gets a person up the latter but no one is guaranteed the outcome. I am proof as I practice two hours a day and after 30 months I will know I will never be as good as I would like but its not for lack of effort, I love for the harp or persistence. Its the latter I that is my advantage. For some reason nothing I really liked ever came easy, Only never giving up got me across the goal line. My wife polishes her diamond on my head to get any scratches out. Don’t care as I can sit and play all day and enjoy every minute of it. The harp was a true gift as father time took many favored hobbies away and at 68 I desperately needed something to work on and enjoy it. Hooked for life.

I had two friends in high school in San Francisco who played harmonica, one of them played in my first band, I really liked the sound and feel they got. So, I started playing and really got into blues as a young music journalist who also played. My friends had much better chops and tone. Sixty years later, they still do – John Peterson and Rick Estrin.
