Ага. А еще раньше был в группе барабанщиком.

И со слов Макклендона, уже после встречи с Эриксоном, но еще до СМ1, Ричард с Джоном джэмили/играли вместе:

---

I went to visit them at Acorn Hollow with a question involving my ability

---

to see clearly once again without the need of corrective lenses and I also

---

wanted to understand more about therapeutic metaphor. At this time

---

John was visiting Richard and they were having a guitar session

---

together.

---

Richard plays the drums, jazz guitar and piano and has a satisfactory jazz

---

voice. John was relatively new in the music scene. His appreciation of

---

music was very high, though his skill level on instruments had not been

---

fully realized at this time. With his brilliant modelling skills he was able to

---

learn to play the bass guitar from Richard very quickly.

---

<...>

---

I temporarily interrupted their practice session. John taught me how to

---

use hypnosis to solve my problem about seeing and at the same time

---

and in the same trance, I learned how to construct a therapeutic

---

metaphor.

---

During the period of time that I was practicing my hypnosis techniques

---

in trance, John and Richard continued to play their raucous music,

---

jamming away oblivious to what I was doing. I guess they weren't going

---

to let me spoil their fun. It was these kinds of experiences that made the

---

novice appreciate the subtlety and skill level that they achieved when they

---

were able to carry on multiple tasks at one time.

Да уж - чем только Джон Г. ни занимался, на какие горы ни лазил, на каких самолетах ни летал, с какими только музыкантами ни музицировал - от музыкантов гамелана на Бали, до проффи африканской музыки и танца в собственных тренинговых программах.

Но?

Не "но", а "и"... Джон всегда был склонен так присоединяться к другим людям - имитировать их деятельность. Поэтому, почему бы ему и не помузицировать с Ричардом?

А с другой стороны - м.б. это Ричард ему пытался показать истоки своего моделирования.
