I tell young students that being in a relationship with a hedonist can be fun for a while, but a hedonist will always betray and/or leave you when things begin to get tough or uncomfortable.....as all relationships do at times.
That's good advice. I am using the word in the sense of finding bliss in the arts, in creation, but I not mean it at the expense of other people or my own heath. I have never touched hard drugs and don't like the soft ones.
The reason I am using it here is because I never learned to read music, and so this child's idea of immediate indulgence is still part of the experience, even as I have found discipline in other ways.
Thank you, Ann. We all have to find our way in, lean on what we can do and gallop over what we can’t.
Thanks, Kaves!
Beautiful piece. I love to know that accomplished people couldn’t or can’t read music. Thanks for the Joni info!
Well done David!
Wonderful piece. So you can not read music at all. Wow. But your ear is amazing.
Thank you! I have perfect pitch. Some people build on it and do great things, but I leaned on it.

A hedonist hedonistically practices hedonism by being hedonistic.
