Really, I was only addressing the statement of why pianos are built, not what "aural analysis" takes place when I am listening to Life as it presents itself to me in my daily walk. I kowtowed long ago to my station in the scheme of things, and that there are others way beyond any level of technicianship I shall ever achieve, or even desire to achieve. I have developed a "I'm satisfied with just a cottage below, a little silver, a little gold..." type mentality. I acknowledge the incredible vastness of your selfhood. It's beyond anything I will experience. That's why you are who you are, and why you are where you are. I wouldn't fit in your domain. But on the other hand, you wouldn't fit in my domain. That's the beauty of it all...seems like I've said something similar to you before...ah yes...February 13, 1997: >...Nevertheless, just one of those beautiful mysteries of life...to each >his/her own.

Isn't that great!
