[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Surprised that if R3 are doing this "thing" they couldn't have made more of the jazz/creativity angle. I mentioned a few weeks back a fascinating article on the guitarist Pat Martino and how he had a large "chunk" of one side of his brain removed as he had had a major neural/cell malformation from birth. He then had to virtually relearn a lot but most of it was still "wired" into the rest of his brain. (I ain't no doctor!) This leads to theories as to the brain's individual structure in terms of creativity and particular motor skills. It "forms" and is formed/modelled in turn.

Takes off white coat and pours another creative bottle of Belgian wheat beer.

BN.

All is not lost BN. The bit I heard this am, in passing, seemed to suggest that babies were born with the Twelve Bar Blues already installed. I said, the bit I heard this morning.........

Yes - the five-year-old's "Jumble Sale Blues" was a little moment of magic. (Much of what I heard of that discussion was about the necessity of improvization and developing - rather than snuffing out - children's curiosity and creativity, and how [bad, I would say] practice in "Classical" teaching so often does much of this "snuffing". Worth listening to.)
