Yes, Robin; thanks so much! Will reread and ponder.

When I was a kid, I was a golf nut. Age 9. There were some guys who were so out of the mold: Miller Barber, Lee Trevino spring to mind. Swing plane quirky or all wrong. But they brought the club face across the ball in such a manner to get the job done. And done very well. Their uniqueness made them only more charming to me. And still do.

Now it seems they are all the same. Of course, not true; but that's how it seems.

An analogy might hold true for trumpeters. Maybe. Or at least the equipment point.
