Hm.  I think of performance as a communicative process.  To me, art 
is an expression of some combination of conscious and subconscious 
ideas and emotions.  When I get onstage, I'm not asking for approval, 
I'm trying to say something to the people I'm playing for.  Some of 
what Imn saying is verbal, and some is abstract.
