I appreciate what Jon posted.

I find that music elicits different feelings based on rhythms. A good rhythm player can get people feeling things in their body which as your move with the music can bring up emotions in the heart. I find that some players who are technically proficient can lack groove - that rhythmic thing that pulls people in and engages them with the energetic feel of the music.

As a singer who also performs a bit, I agree that performance is something that needs to be practiced. Where to let the emotion of the music come through and when to pull back a bit so it doesn't overwhelm. It is about the song - not about me. If I can stay connected to the song and the audience - that seems to be the sweet spot.

Best,
Jayne
