remind him how long I had been playing. I told him that I had owned a Stick for severa;
years, and he grinned. He restated his question, this time emphasizing how long I had
"played," because "owning" a Stick and "playing" a Stick was not the same thing. I was
now firmly in the Stick world, where it was assumed that the instrument-as-object had
begun to recede and reveal the Stick-as-thing. I said that I played pretty actively for a
few years, but that I was currently a little rusty. Based on my cautious self-assessment,
he placed me in the beginner group with seven other people, three of which had never
laid hands on a Stick before the seminar. This proved to be fortuitous, as I had the
sustained opportunity to see players interact with the instrument for the first time,
when it is at its most objective.In Class
