Exactly! Last night I was at an open mike and a singer/guitar player I know came in. He is a pretty good singer and pretty good guitar player. I don't think he ever learned how to play with the other kids in the sandbox though. He didn't ask the other guys on stage if they knew the song he was going to do. He didn't care. Didn't tell anyone what key the song was in. He just plugged in his guitar, stepped up to the mike and started to play/sing.
