I just decided that I'm keeping some "live" work, not because of the appreciation factor, but because of the value of the pressure to "do it right".

I'm doing a minimum of 20 hours of sound track work a week right now, and, if I screw up, I do it over.

I believe that 1 hour of "real time" work involving challenging material is worth three hours of practice and 2 hours of studio work.

The need to get it right live is a powerful thing; particularly if you do a lot of "shooting from the hip" in real time.

It (live play) is a whole different animal than recording....recording is satisfying in a whole different way.

I'm not ready to choose between them.
