Boy, talk about a distortion of what I said. MY reference was to the difference between live music and arranger music. Trying to make it about "notes in the song" is just a distortion to make a point. Gary, I read your post several times, just to make sure I was reading it correctly. I guess it's okay if you feel that way but I just can't imagine any musicians I know or have known, who feels that way. For the musicians I know, the music trumps everything. But again, to each his own.
