I'm not sure I can express it very well, but for me it means clearing my mind and being inside the music. When I'm there, I'm not playing the song, the song is playing me and I am only the instrument. It is still coming from within me, but I'm not busy in the overlay of thoughts about my tax returns, or rent being due, or what was that noise the truck was making on the way home today? I'm not even thinking much about the song, unless there's some trickery in it that will tax my skill.This exactly matches my experience, but apparently not Rhythm's.
