IMHO,

I believe that some of the best "honest art" takes place in the light of 
day
in front of a good audience with open ears. Honest, sincere and spontaneous
feedback can inspire to new levels and instruct in ways an introspective 
jam
session cannot. This debate, of course, is as old as art itself...

Best regards,   Alan.
