   For me, singing and playing go together with such synergistic dynamism that   
   they both each enhance the other.   
   Besides, since the lyrics have so much meaning for me, that makes it easier   
   to remember them ;)   
   It's only when I'm learning a new song, even one I just wrote, often   
   especially one I just wrote, that it's often a real challenge to remember   
   what to play and sing.

   Well that's one way to be spared all the CRAP, because that's mostly what's   
   out  there.

   How about Genuine Amateurs? Those who do something for the sheer Love of   
   doing it - which is why I'm into Music!   
   I'd play it whether I'd get paid or not because I simply Love it that much.   
   And  'amateur' and 'professional' are NOT  opposites, but rather the Best   
   combination around, and those who do something for Love have Pure Motives   
   for doing it. And how Awesome is it to make a living  doing what one Truly   
   Loves!
