Dear Fred: I guess I would not like to tell Joni, Paul, or Gershwin their belief that learning to read music or write it down fucks with their creativity is all wrong...that instead they would be enhanced. :) You do it Fred. LOL
I think I understand what these great persons are saying though. I can only imagine that it would be a great bother having to take the time to write down words and notes as I went along...while having a song raging in my head. I may want nothing more than to play it...sing it..feel it. I guess each person has their own approach...whatever works. :) Love and peace.....Sharon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >A QUESTION FOR EVERYONE:Why do some of the GREATS i.e. Joni,Paul > >McCartney,Errol Garner,Buddy Rich,prefer or choose not to read nor write > >music?
