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].
