Hi, Herbert:

All I meant was that music (and art in general) is self-expression. Don't worry too much about excessive criticism (e.g. from the external sound production group he mentioned) as, in the end, you have to feel good about your work.

On the other hand, constructive criticism should always be welcomed. My general rule is that, if we are not our own harshest critics, then somebody else must be.

The timing of the post may have made it seem that it was in reply to yours, Herbert, but it was not.
