Hello,

To me this is almost on the edge of despair. I don't know of anyone who 
simply plays what they play & then puts it out on the market as these 
artists claim to do. Picasso did censor his own output as he is said to 
have burned some of his work. As far as the two musical artists mentioned 
I have a hard time believing they simply walked into the studio, had a 
single go at a track & moved on. They never had a string break or a 
mouthpiece work loose or go out of adjustment? This is in the same genre 
as the Mozart claim that he wrote everything right out of his head & never 
edited his compositions, which is pure myth.
