something creative to do with my life."

play an instrument and pick it up."
Keith Richards
"The song "Yesterday," the tune of it, came to me in a dream. I

professional musician, I said, "I wonder what that is?" I had a piano
by the side of the bed, and I got it down."
Paul McCartney
"I do not hear in my imagination the parts successively; I hear them all at
once. What a delight this is!"
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
