Having spent plenty of time in various theater pits I can attest to the way the tiniest most niggling details can get on one's nerves. Further great insights, Jason!

Those anecotes made me laugh out loud, but the last one has really given me something to think about. You articulated very well one of the same things I often think about, namely, will the thousands of hours I have yet to spend in the practice room slowly erode my "regular" communicating abilities? It seems like a lot of mucicians I know forget that non-musical communication ability is the key to sustaining real-life relationships, and I'm only a freshman in college. I hope for my sake and for the sake of my friends that we can all keep a measure of perspective in our daily lives as we get older. Wow, Jason, great article.
