You don’t (usually) have to deal with obsessive parents or horribly written parts on the radio. But when you have Solsbury Hill (written in 7/4 because the universe hates me) stuck in your head, it’s not going away, you hear every note because your brain is perfectly capable of simulating them (instead of, say, a simple melody you could ignore) and therefore refuses to do anything less, and any other song that you hear while it’s there will sound out of time. 7/4 is a horrible time signature.

I wish I had been born with that bent, but alas! The MC from my MG book (The Disorderlies) has an artistic ability. Maybe I should look for an entry of yours on that!

Thanks!

I read a novel once where a proffessional violinist ended up back in medievel time without her violin; the Author didn’t relay the heartache this would have caused her. She also would have been learning another instrument to keep sane. As a musician it was frustrating to read this lack of depth or reality of the character.

I sometimes over the years wanted to play the piano or a violin but I could never afford either.
