You must mean, *I'm* living proof of that. My post can't be.

Thank you, Tom.

It's still true, though, that good players play the clarinet with their
ears. And it's part of the deeper truth that good musicians are only
good musicians because they play with their ears.

My point was that it's not a good idea here to obscure this fundamental
truth with the other stuff, even if some of the other stuff is useful.
