Ancient Sounds: Avoiding Repetitive Stress Syndrome
http://ancientsounds.blogspot.com/2013/04/not-repetitive-stress-syndrome.html
The right word is worth a thousand pictures. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Avoiding Repetitive Stress Syndrome. Eople misunderstand what causes problems in the hands. It is not the repetition of hitting the computer or piano keys. If you do it right, you can play the piano or type 12 hours a day for the next 50 years and never have a problem. It is the not-releasing between playing each note or typing each character that causes hand problems. Before I answer, I will make a shocking confession, when I play th...

Ancient Sounds: Breaking Grammar Rules
http://ancientsounds.blogspot.com/2013/06/breaking-grammar-rules.html
The right word is worth a thousand pictures. Sunday, June 30, 2013. It might be best to never spilt infinitives; unless you, like Emily Dickinson or Dylan Thomas, breathe and live the craft of words, and then you would be wise to attentively do so. Bach broke all the rules of counterpoint, but as. A master of them. He was described once as a craftsman who would lovingly finish the part of a piece of furniture no one would see. Dylan Thomas opens Under Milk Wood. When I was in eight grade, I remember bein...

Ancient Sounds: Being Simple
http://ancientsounds.blogspot.com/2013/04/omit-inessential.html
The right word is worth a thousand pictures. Saturday, April 20, 2013. T's not that the male's brain is simpler. He just wants to reduce everything to its essence, then go from there. It is not that the female's brain is more complex, but she is comfortable swimming in complexity. A female Einstein may not have had to reduce the relation of all matter and energy to five symbols, E = MC2. Implicity is not just less. The pared cello suites of Bach use his few, just-right notes to suggest two voices. Be...

http://ancientsounds.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-worlds-most-macho-beer.html
The right word is worth a thousand pictures. Saturday, July 13, 2013. The World's Most Macho Beer. Years ago, when I lived in Brooklyn, there was a hugh sign I would pass traveling on the BQE. In the daylight it said Bruno Truck Sales. At night, the two neon S'. S were blown out and it read Bruno Truck Ale. I couldn't imagine a more macho sounding beer. I'll have a Miller," your friend says. Make mine a Heineken," says another. You say, "Gimme a Truck Ale.". That trumps 'em all. And it's Bruno.

Ancient Sounds: I Don't 'Heart' What NY is Doing With It's Copyright
http://ancientsounds.blogspot.com/2013/05/i-dont-heart-what-ny-is-doing-with-its.html
The right word is worth a thousand pictures. Wednesday, May 29, 2013. See the NYT article, click here. Nteresting, sad newspaper article. (Be sure to read it by clicking the above link.). I wonder if I would get in trouble with this design? Paul Rand used the Eye. Hieroglyph for his IBM logo. Symbol. I mean, nobody in America can professionally use " I Heart". You can't use I Heart Symbol. I guess they should sue if someone writes I Heart. In a love letter in a movie. Did they sue the I Heart. And as suc...

http://ancientsounds.blogspot.com/2013/04/describing-music.html
The right word is worth a thousand pictures. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Fter a performance, someone came up to the pianist and asked what he meant by his interpretation of that Beethoven sonata.
