adversity / junk

[Carl Teplitski]

I personally know a fellow now playing the PGA golf tour, who started
playing
on a starter set of clubs. A partial set consists of every 2nd club in
the set, and
usually has just one used off a tee. ( driver ) This taught him to hit
half shots and
manufacture shots using his imagination, thus developing what we call "
feel ".
You can't teach feel!!
(A club is designed to hit a ball a certain distance, commensurate with
your strength
and ability.)

I personally was in contact with the conductor of the symphony in our
city who was
playing a benefit at a local seniors place. The piano was a very poor
short grand, in questionable condition. I spent a fair amount of time
one day trying to make it a decent instrument, but when I was done, I
wasn't all that confident that the maestro would see
this as an instrument worthy of his play.
The word I got later was that he had a great time entertaining these
people and seemed to enjoy
himself as much as they did.When asked if the piano was alright, he said
that he had played
much worse, especially when he wasn't the maestro, and it didn;t bother
him one little bit.
This is a man who was very open minded and practical, knowing that not
all pianos are
$100,000.00 concert grands.
