arrange to be democratically born
(Leon Rosselson)

Sometimes it helps, initially, but sometimes the opposite makes the would-be musician more determined. Just as it does some of those who weren't born sons of company directors and judge's private daughters who have to go to a slum school dumped by some joker in a dark back alley.

. . . buttons would be pressed, rules would be broken
Strings would be pulled and magic words spoken
Invisible fingers would mould . . . Folkworks, the Wren Trust, Shooting Roots.
