Well, what you say Chris does not refutes what the other guy say. A plateau is reached for a reason or another; age, lack of ideas, lack of interest, etc. That's a matter of fact. We can see that in every field of human endeavour, with the exception, until a degree, of arts. Artists can survive mnore because his craft depend enterily of his own power; they does not need to swallow info every day. They could and many does so, but if you do not, you anyway can keep a decent level of creartivity. Sciences or technology, on the contrary, are a lot more demanding because competence does exist and what is probed inmferior has not anymore right to existence. Haydn could compose until advanced age because the fact Beethoven was compsosing also did not mean he should live the field. There is no perfomance competence between arts works, at least not so directly. Of course passion is the esence of the problem. Once passion fades, your concentration fades and so your ideas takes more and more time to appear. And by the same reason, you lose even more poassions and so and so, a vicious circle. As I am 52 years old, I suppose I can see nearer than you this awful fact. But of courese you are a cry far of that at your 36. But I would like to know what ed thinks of this as myuch he is around my age, I undesratand. What he feels? Great curiosity... Fernando
