    Now now, let's not be be mean.

    I remember hearing somebody reminiscing, and he told about first hearing some instrument, was completely blown away by it, and asked his mother what was _that_?

    An accordion, she said.

    THAT's what I want to play, he said.

    Struck me as funny because I found it hard to conceive that such reaction could be sparked by an accordion (tho that's how I felt about the tenor sax).

    Still, I admired the guy; such a passionate reaction to music, in whatever form, is wonderful and thrilling.

    Different strokes . . .
