What a lot of people only respect is money and more so the person with the cash and less so the person without the cash.
Flash the cash, and every free loading vulcture will appear from nowhere, and When the cash is gone, where are they to be seen? One word scum!
Hence the muppets up and down the country like me learning to play the sax gain a lot of respect as we are the ‘bread and butter’ for a lot of music teachers. lol (depressing thought)
On a more positive note, playing a lot of meaningless fast altissimo – is pointless and mainly for immature show offs. However i find fast altissimo is related the fight/flight psychology with tension, whereas the altissimo note that lasts for several beats relates to impending disaster (like falling off a cliff). Hence the moody playing in my blues.
