Hi Keith,
Yup, I know that joke about the pipers. I have friends who are pipers. I
am a trumpet player. I enjoy many types of music, but my favorite is big
band music from the 20's 30's and 40's. I play lead trumpet in a 16
piece big band. We are all retired and we play in retirement homes,
nursing homes, senior centers, etc. We played 41 times last year. We
play a one hour show and, on occasion, a two hour show.
I have a nephew and his wife who are both pipers. I have a picture,
taken from behind two of my grandchildren who are sitting and listening
to them play the pipes, with both hands over their ears. It is a
classic. I show it to my piper friends often.
There is nothing better to me than ballet without the dancing and opera
without the singing.
73,
Dave

Dave, you may be right but, as one who doesn't like classical music, I
read your music tip a bit differently.
I'm thinking ... "yea, listen to classical music for a while. After
that CW will be like music to your ears and you'll be able to tolerate a
longer practice session. In fact, if you want to listen to CW all day
and not be irritated, precede it with 10 minutes of Bagpipe music!
After 10 minutes anything will sound good!"
Sorry, couldn't resist ...
Speaking of bagpipes, do you know why pipers walk while they play? To
get away from the sound!

5) Are you a musician or do you like to listen to music? Try listening
to some Bach or Motzart for a few minutes before your code sessions. I
believe that will help.
