"all music should come from the heart, music is not a mathematical exercise it is about expressing and interpreting feeling"


If I write down a poem, lots of people who I might never meet could see it and then they would know just what a horrendous poet I am.


Before literacy was commonplace, there were those who saw it as the work of the devil - mysterious inscriptions that contained some kind of weird power.

Here I read about written music as being some kind of impossible abstract exercise.

It isn't.

When you can't read, the written medium is intimidating.

Suspicion of writing and reading is medieval.

Reminds me of Bill Hicks being asked by the waitress in a texan waffle house: "so ... you're a reader".

It isn't the middle ages folks.
