I'm gonna have to go against the popular responce here. I don't like it when I write a tune and someone else plays it. It always turns out hash to me and miss intrepreted. I have to write it in music perfectly, or actually sit down and play it for them, or make a tape to get some satisfaction from it. It's not egoism or being self-centered, there's just a way I want it and it must be that way or it's wrong. 'lol' If I give a tune away, it's usually a tune I have lost attachment for I don't look forward to hear what has become of it. I'm sure not everyone shares my ill-favored feeling of the subject. I envy those who can write for others and be satisfied.
