You can only get to know a person by getting to know the person. I didn't know what she was about at first. I think everyone has had similar experiences.And you befriended this woman because ?????

Random thought:
Just once, I'd like to hear NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" news topic humour program open with "This show was taped to a coconut and tossed into the surf".
The standard opening is " This Program was Taped Before a live Audience" (or "No-one" during covid quarantine).

I tuned in halfway through a radio program in which the host was interviewing a musician, and being a musician himself he made this statement (paraphrasing here): "I hate to see a performer closing his eyes when he plays a solo. It means he's in his own little world and he's not playing 'with' the rest of the band. He's not communicating."

His interpretation, not everyone else's.

Yes, but does it have any validity at all?

Old habit of mine as well. Never thought much of it until someone pointed it out.
Guess it allows me to better concentrate.

I'm no musician but it seems like "solo" and "playing with the rest of the band" don't necessarily go together at the same moment.
Can't store it in batteries either, that's DC. You would need an inverter to make it AC.Why is it that AC can't be effectively stored...other than in Batts?

That was actually the first other example that leapt to my mind.

I always took the closing of eyes to mean that the musician is lost in the music. Perhaps more focused on what the rest of the band is doing. Sometimes, people who make such statements like the one you paraphrased come across as ignorant and overly critical. It's as if a non-musician thinks he/she knows better than the experienced musician how music should be played. I have seen this sort of arrogant comment made about many activities by people who have no business saying anything about what the person they're watching is doing. Why can't such individuals just enjoy a good performance and let the performers do their jobs?
I never cared much for the band White Zombie, but I enjoyed watching some of their videos because of the bassist. She was so into playing her bass line that her hair was flying all around her head making it impossible to see her face. She was so immersed in playing that nothing else mattered. That to me is beautiful.
A long time ago, I was taking a walk and saw an artist with a canvas mounted on a stand painting a field with horses in it. At first, there was nothing but random brush strokes that didn't look like anything resembling an actual picture. I continued walking and came back a little later to see an almost perfect representation of the field with the horses, barn, surrounding trees, etc.
Waking up early like I usually do is a real blessing. I sit outside with coffee and listen to the music of the birds. Sometimes one of the neighborhood cats joins me. Obviously, said kitty is thinking about how delicious those birds are. 
So, I am the only human being enjoying God’s natural beauty first thing in the morning.
