Have I improved? Be frank with me, Don.
I might say you've gone from terrible to merely very bad....if I was being frank. But silly man, what are you doing writing music?
What, you don't like my song?
It sounds like you should stick to singing in the shower, my friend. Don't you hear the dogs barking?
Ah well, you oughtn't make fun of the weak. Do to others what you would have them do to you, as they say. I'm practicing at writing, and singing music, because I'm so bad at it.
Well, I can't say you don't need the practice, but why don't you continue practicing your drawing and sculpting arts... you are quite good at that, aren't you?
I have improved some some in those skills, yes, though I have quite a ways to go there as well.
But singing and skillfully using the breath and vocal chords, there is a challenge! New territory, you know.
I don't get you. There are many things that are "new territory" for me that I don't go intentionally seeking out so I can fail at them!
Failure is the first step towards success, of course, but tell me. Do you think skill in music is
important to have?
Important in what sense?
