Dick Dale performing "Nitro" spills forth from the speakers on my desk. The man plays his guitar UPSIDE DOWN, as you will notice if you are looking carefully. Impossible to sit still in his presence

This is really interesting. I enjoyed reading a different perspective.

I'm impressed by how much you were able to say in so few words.

[n_maranda_coy]

Thank you! As I said upthread, I used to write far more lengthy pieces, but somewhere along the line a switch seems to have been thrown. Glad you liked it.

very nice i loved how connected you were with the music whilst being so detached from your work

I almost need to put myself in a trance when handling intimidating tasks. My paper mountain is VERY scary.

It's a bit short and I wish there were just a little bit more. The idea of music as religion is intriguing though not a thought foreign to me. I'm always interested in seeing others' interpretations of the same concept. Music isn't just religion for me, it's an essential part of how I move through the day. You captured that well.

I can see where it probably could have used a bit more, but it just flowed out as-is. I was afraid to tinker too much and thus end up with a music theory essay rather than a feelings-infused vignette.

A "brain radio" is a very useful survival tool.
