   I'd certainly call that sabotage!

   Just as in anything else, it's always best when one always does their best,   
   which certainly applies to performing.

   Absolutely - it's about Integrity!

   What I refer to as Less than Pure Motives - and the sooner they're gone, the   
   better!

   I really tried to get into liking solo performing, but I just find it so   
   lonely ;)   
   Just play and sing all alone.   
   I'm a band person and a team player, so our new duo, The Difference, is a   
   really new experience for my Soulmate as well as myself...and if I ever   
   perform solo again, I'll just say I'm half of The Difference ;)
