Re: that quiting feeling....

Ever hear of "darkest before the dawn"?...or are you familiar with "The Wall" in marathon running?

There is ONLY one way to NOT "get better"....quit.

Getting better is sometimes measured in micrometers...not miles...every time you use your embrochure...it gets stronger, better...even IF you can't tell it...same for sight-reading, etc. But I can tell you from experience...put the horn down and things REGRESS.

Don't know what you do, or want to do, for a lving...but music is a PART of you...you can't really cut that off...you can kid yourself...you can take a different professional road (if you out to be a musician)....but you can't stop the music...

So...JUST play it, Man.
