(I thought it would never happen)
I was just playing Do, Lord (I don't have to use fingerings!) and I messed up in the beginning and I remembered something my old band teacher told us. He said that it's not ok to mess up, but if you do, it's a lot better to screw up the beginning because your audience will remember the end. Thankfully, I didn't have an audience.
I remembered something from band.

If one has a choice ...
*grinning* Makes sense, Cranberry!
Though, I reckon botching the middle is the best option of a bad bunch. A rough beginning and no-one will listen to the rest. Terrible ending - like you say - everyone remembers That. No standing ovation! But a bad middle might well be got away with.
Now, ideally, there's no bad at all ...

All we have to decide is what to do with the tune that is given us.

Because the glass is half empty?
Like band, like life. Except as one gets older,
it's the beginning that comes back to mind,
again and again, like stars or memories
appearing and disappearing, rising above
the horizon of this inner landscape to give us light,
and slowly sinking beneath the darkness of the west..
so take some promises along, and a song.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.
