    R Neil -

    Yup, that's about it.

    As I've got older everything I do has become simpler, much simpler. I know the theory (if pushed) but, as you say, I don't think like that when playing, or even preparing to play. These days it's almost vanilla with a bit of pretty icing here and there. It's like I've gone back to 'naive art'.

    But we're all where we are. Such is life.

    I think learning to drive a car would even be the best example how theory vs. practice works. After getting the licence, people still are a bit scared for a year or so (except young lunatics) because its pretty much life&death decisions all the time. This fear indicates that the theory hasn't been absorbed just yet. We know the theory, but it's not our "second nature" for a while after learning it.
