"Nobody's ever going to groove harder playing straight ahead than Ray Brown, no one's going to groove any funkier ever than Bootsy Collins or Larry Graham (Sly & the Family Stone). You start thinking,' Man, what's left?' But if I'm going to make some kind of contribution to the world of music, I have a feeling it's going to be rooted in the groove underneath, from the bottom." -CM

Robin, Boy Wonder, You don't hafta groove harder and you don't hafta groove funkier. To contribute, you just gotta groove.
That is to say, music is not a competition, it is an art. To create, one need only be. "Music is enough for a lifetime; but a lifetime is not enough for music." --Rachmaninov
