You know what is shocking, that these technically supernatural players are not millionaires. Grisha must be a one in a million, maybe one in 10 million. So what does that say? It takes more than technical excellence to really succeed in music - in fact you don't need technical excellence, and maybe that is a handicap in some way also. You gotta build a mystery and an aura, and compose some beautiful and original music that somehow catches the public's ear. A tall order! Wasn't Paco basically a nobody on the grand stage (not the flamenco stage) until Entre dos Aquas caught fire into the general public? My son's bass guitar teacher, my god he can play guitar, better than the flamencos I learn from. He can play a solo guitar instrumental in all twelve keys pretty effortlessly - so he says and I haven't seen anything yet that would make me doubt him. But he is a nobody really, learning to be a high school music teacher, which I think he will do very well at btw. Anyways, sorry for the thread hijack. Life is crazy.
