   Perhaps lack of confidence, *allowed* to be cultivated by listening to   
   others.

   They play 5 to 6 nights a week!!! I'd sure Love too do that! Must be a   
   reason they're playing so much...being in DEMAND is a 'distinct'   
   possibility...like  they MUST be doing something RIGHT...gee, I 'wonder'   
   what it could be ;)

   If someone ever said that to me, I'd let them know that they too could also   
   enjoy that band...just as soon as they get HEARING AIDS...because Obviously,   
   they sure NEED them...because they play for HEARING audiences!!!
