   Too true! The old song "Strokin'" by Clarence Carter comes to mind, for   
   some reason...hmmm... :-)   
   But seriously, you're right. If you can't play it slowly, you probably   
   won't be able to play it at any speed. I definitely agree that technique   
   is, by far, more important than speed. Of course, Black Mountain Rag   
   played at half speed would probably not be that enjoyable. So, the skill   
   of the picker determines which songs get picked in public. At home, I   
   mutilate music daily until I get it right!
