   May changing, or deteriorating hearing could be the problem.

   From some bad personal experiences, I've developed an attitude of not   
   wanting someone else controlling whether I get heard or not, because I want   
   to be heard, at least be me even if by no one else!!!

   That's a good  article. No big revelation for me though, because I've known   
   that for a long time - it's got to sound decent FIRST, and that means the   
   *entire* band, not some egomaniacal prima donna's instrument and/or vocals   
   ONLY!!!   
      
   When I play, I want to hear every sound the *entire band* makes - clearly   
   and distinctly, just as if I was listening to a studio recording, so that I   
   can *truly* get into and thus *be* in the Music, and be tripping on the Love   
   Vibe!
