Hi, Richard!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

           Good one!  I can well imagine that such an individual might be more
confident when improvising and/or playing by ear, where I'm just the opposite.

           There's a drummer in our community band who is at his best when the
conductor wants him to do a solo & tells him "Just make up something."  I'm at
my best when all I have to do is read the notes or when the conductor wants me
to keep a low profile & enable somebody else's work to stand out... [chuckle].
