We are simply to far away to attend. as to "vulnerability" and "shame" I confess utter confusion, for I feel neither in the context of composing, arranging or performing. Perhaps it is a matter of perspective, but the assumption that Ms. Brown's analysis apply to all might be fallacious. The vocabulary of social sciences seems to be waddling everywhere, and somehow scribbling a tune or blowing a horn just doesn't seem to me to be up their alley, even if they congratulate themselves in talking about creativity. Creativity seems more just like "do it." Courage? That too seems afield from a staff, bar lines, notes and phrases. My music doesn't pretend to analysis social science. Perhaps social science has just gotten a little big for its non-musical britches? Just a thought. But you who step out onto the stage show a courage beyond a chat for TED. Give 'em heck! And play like a goddess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
