Marty, all true artists turn abstract into concrete. When they're performing they are somewhere else other than the stage. It's like they're in a parallel dimension or just inside their soul. None of them tries to be someone/something. I consider you one true artist, so here is the question: what is this abstract place you get in when playing?

Good Q- and you are right, there is a very strange place that I wind up when I`m playing, a place that I become a better version of myself than what I am when I`m not playing. It`s not just me or even just artists though, I believe when anyone does something that they are reasonably confident and experienced at, and they get into "the zone", they go to a similar place.
