Frogman;
This debate boils down to one Letter of the alphabet in one sentence, not Wes Phillip's life history, and Rok spelled that out. This is the same as the last debate that revolved around 1 individual who did not practice for 1 summer when he was performing three times a week.
Serena Williams lost an early round match in Australia after coming off an illness that prevented her from playing in tournaments. When asked about that loss, she said she practiced hard and prepared for the match, but that's not the same as tournament competition. The only thing that can prepare you for that, is playing matches.
My friend was playing his instrument before he started school, similar to Mary Lou Williams; performing in front of a live audience is what he needed, not practice. Just as Serena Williams could only get tournament tough by competing in tournaments, he needed the live audience; that was his competition play, especially since this was new music. You and Learsfool took what I said, to mean that I said no jazz musician need ever practice.
What I said in regard to making a fire in the fire place was in jest, how else could I have had a September 97, magazine in my possession. Since I have many more before and after that date; evidently I consider the magazine worthy of better things than starting fires.
Have you ever heard the expression of "Making a mountain out of a molehill"?
