Not to invalidate your point, though, since your interpretation of bliss is certainly valid.

Beppe touches on what I mean with her description of having enjoyed "static music."

I am happy that you perceive me as a she. My avatar is indeed confusing, with those red things that could be taken for a bow ... But I like it and I do not want to change it

The latest musician that I am tripping on is Satie. Tripping would be a fine word for it? reminiscent of long time passed.

My musical cave, the one I go when I want to get to the roots of me and recharge deeply is the Art of the Fugue in the piano execution of Evgeni Koroliov. There, I loose myself.

Sorry to have presumed too much, beppe. I thought I'd read something about your family that suggested gender as well, but obviously, that was me reading too much into what you wrote. Will adjust my above post accordingly.

Satie is in fact considered the progenitor of the repetitive music I mentioned.

Will have to listen to the Evgeni Koroliov version of AotF.

I see. Maybe it is because I am the cook of the family. Ah ah. My wife, she is a master in opening packages of chips. No, actually the repetitiveness of it, day after day just makes it unbearable for her. I like both cooking and shopping for groceries, so that is my domain.

I actually sport a beard. Neatly trimmed of course.

But I like to have been considered a she. I am macho and cocky enough that I just see it as a compliment for all the nice qualities of the ladies that I would like to have. The qualities I mean.

I become an admirer of Evgeni Koroliov for his Goldberg Variations, than I got the Art of the Fugue.
