Jeez. Don responds to my opinions about learning tunes by ear by rattling on yet again about learning songs. You know, Don, I thought we'd cleared that one up. Read my lips:

I...am...NOT...talking...about...SONGS! Then you go on about playing classical music, which has very little relevance to the matter at hand but plenty to do, it seems, with your apparent desire to show us what a bright fellow you are.

As for this piece of tosh: this tells me that YOU don't really know how to read music. I hate to say this, but a fundamental lack of musicality.

Well that says it all. You judge, across the Atlantic Ocean, a person's "musicality" from their opinions expressed in an internet forum. Don, I think I can say with confidence that you have not heard me playing in a session. You're all theory, Don. Typical of dot-learners, I'd say...   :-)
