Absolutely - I didn't say it was easy... :o) ...and it's even harder if 
your
sense of worth in what you do comes from having had good reviews... I've 
had
some good reviews that annoyed the heck out of me because the things they
found in my music that they liked were things I wished weren't there... :o)

I'm sat here listening to the new Jarrett/DeJohnette/Peacock double live
improv set - clearly a load of mindless piano/bass/drums wankery... ;o)
...or maybe it's godlike genius at work, and sphincter-boy reviewer 
wouldn't
know it if it crapped on him from the top of a tall building...  who knows,
who really cares... just be careful who you send your CDs to... :o)
