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].
