Like in the homebrewing art, each one goes at his/her own pace. One man's "old hat" is another's "new hat". Plugging music: I encourage anyone out there who has an inkling to play a musical instrument to do so,without fear or trepidation... and NOT worry about Itzak Perlman being a world-class violinist or the bass player from Rush being top dog. The journey is about personal discovery and experimentation. That, sir, is the essence of any art (or science). Scientists and engineers (especially) often forget that. For example, it's cool to be able to look up at the Moon, Jupiter, Venus,Mars and Saturn and have a real sense that they are our neighbours, concenate (I think that is the verb) their relative motions a bit, and recognise their movements. Maybe Max Planck and S.Hawking would yawn, but I bet they couldn't play the violin or the the bass too well. ;)RBB XE1GXG/XE1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-51380447408096338652012-03-27T13:18:26.808-04:002012-03-27T13:18:26.808-04:00CongratulazioniCongratulazioniBill ke5vztnoreply@blogger.com
