I'm embarrassed by my performance out there. I didn't practice. I should have practiced. I wasn't up for disco. I was only 7 when that song came out.

The one thing we won't be able to do is mow like we usually do. Everything else will be fine.

It won't be any longer of a day than normal. It will be a busy day.

I think practice preparation is always an indicator of game performance - not necessarily 100 percent, because there are still a lot of variables there, but it?s still an indicator,

We occasionally miss one or two during a performance, but we pretty much have it down. We practice two to four hours a day during the off season.

Traditions that cease to evolve render themselves irrelevant or obsolete. And what's the problem with inventing new performance practices? Are customs being slandered? Do successful alternative diminish the value of traditional ones? *The argument that musicians must embrace conventional rituals is just as perilous as unilaterally rejecting them.*
