One of the best parts about your article is the story of your apprenticeship to Perry. What a blessing to have had someone like that in your corner, really teaching by giving you your own experience. But my very favorite thing in this whole article is the quote by Paul Graham. “all other things being equal, the best plan is to let as few things into your identity as possible”. An identity is like a definition, a label, and ”the more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you." Stumbling on this in your post is like finding a $100 bill by the side of the road. Thanks for your article Silvio!
Thank you, Rick, for your words. I'm glad you liked my article and found it interesting and useful. Paul Graham's "Keep your identity small" is a beauty and definitely in my personal top five essays by him. :)

This is how I wish I could write about music. I learned a ton--thanks Silvio.
Thank you, Matt! Glad you found it useful. It’s one of those subjects one could write thousands of words about :)
