            Dos said, the best part about being a musician is, you are always discovering something new to learn.

      Dollcee said, the weird part about playing music is, will you ever learn all the things you want to know to be a really good musician.

      Dos said, I think we are really lucky to get so much opportunity to play.

      Dollcee said, do you ever get tangled up wondering whether the music experience is a physical or an intellectual one.

      Dos went completely vague through being overwhelmed by Dollcee’s question. After a while he began functioning again, I have never thought of music that way Dollcee. Dos was at a loss; he had some serious thinking to do.

      Eventually he said, I think it is a physical thing music, although there is a lot to think about as well. Maybe, it is the circumstances, the moment, as to how you experience music.

      Dollcee said, as a drummer it is mainly physical, the groove, the swing, the beat, it is all physical.

      Dos was slowly grasping what Dollcee had introduced him to. Maybe as a musician, it is mainly physical. If it is Dance-music, then it is definitely physical. For passive listeners, it might be an intellectual thing. 
      Dollcee said, maybe that is why I don’t like playing at parties, because some of the players are more audience oriented than into musicianship.

      That is a polite way of saying you don’t like playing in a kitchen band, said Dos.

      When you are hopelessly committed, forget the kitchen gigs, said Dollcee.
