The BBC radio news Quiz has just referred to a test of men's declining
powers, correlated with age. It seems we start to seriously go downhill
after 39.
(Not much hope for me then.)
The test was to see how rapidly they could keep tapping their index
fingers over a period of 10 seconds, a vital skill for any man of the world.
One wonders how the test would vary if they took a sample of NSpipers?
And does it mean that starting to play in my mid-50's I don't stand a
chance with repeated notes?
Yours in senility,
Richard.
