THE subject at hand was not to tear down musicians and composers but to pay a (little) homage to an art form that touches your soul. I can mention names (even though my memory is not the greatest) of deserving people who have populated a planet with an abundance of mediocrity (I include myself). But I don't get the point in being cynical. Beethoven even wrote a few pieces even he would have admitted weren't that great. Bach wrote some easier pieces for his wife so she could practice.
Someone wrote "Jingle Bells" which does not put me in the holiday mood yet I hear jazz renditions of it anyway. I would hope that we might all agree that some music makes some of us Really Truly Happy.
