Tell us there's nothing new under the sun, and then you come up with a word like 'insipidity'? I too would prescribe some musical therapy, preferably for an appreciative audience, even if it's just yourself. Get thou a banjo! Remember the Peanuts comic strip where Linus suggests that every newborn baby should be issued a banjo? Others may insist that you count your blessings that this never happened. But many's the time I picked mine up whilst in a funk and walked away de-funked. Also, be grateful for caring friends at Mudcat and elsewhere.
