Couldn't have put it better myself - there are mercifully few "clueless old
hats" in my area (discounting me, of course), and everyone seems to get
better with time, it seems.
FWIW, I have tapes of me playing at "my best" in the 11 or so years I've been
harpin' -- every time I think I'm getting "good" (whatever that means) I
listen to a tape of me n years ago - 'cos I know I thought I was "good" (wtm)
then, as well.
