Work stretch went a little long ... I’m off now, and the weather app promises something resembling spring.

This is what 2011 Dunhill Flake looks like aggressively rubbed out. I let it dry and loaded it into a Peterson Aran 608. A Yeti of Leelanau Coffee Roasting Co. Kenya, black, is the beverage.

(What didn’t fit in the pot, I loaded into a Falcon for later ... )

It is really interesting to consider how he might have sensed and perceived the music without hearing it. It really is impossible to comprehend for myself, as someone who isn't deaf or suffer from impaired hearing.

That’s his genius combined with that of written music. He knew what each note sounded like on every instrument imaginable and could combine them in his head. He didn’t need to hear it. Musical notation is the same in every language, it’s why music has such power and beauty, it’s one of the few things that every culture has in common.
