A Hit And Miss Affair

I’ve got a pal who has a very nice way of telling me that he LOVES a couple of songs I’ve recorded…but not the rest of them really.

And that is how it works with creativity, and more specifically, with putting the thing we’ve created out into the world. We aren’t in control of how other people react to those creations.

It’s a hit and miss affair. And often it is mainly misses.

In the past I would probably have managed to ONLY hear the fact that my friend doesn’t think much of most of material.

These days, well….hey, I’ve got a couple of HITS in my repertoire. Result!

And here’s one of them, according to Neil.

ps. But if we consider the possibility that SOMEBODY (possibly a different somebody each time) will have the same reaction as Neil, but with different favourites, then, really, it’s could be HITS all the way baby!
