'Forgetful' would be another,

But hey, it's only a game.

But hey, it's only a game.

Time to stop digging, methinks!

Cool it everyone this is supposed to be fun. I was grateful for the lull. I've just had one of my own, reading bits of Henry Wood's biography.

He mentioned his "point-blank" refusal to an American to take short master classes in singing for £14 an hour. "Had he offered me £400 an hour my answer would have been the same. It is absolutely unfair for any pupil to be expected to pay a fee for a lesson lasting twenty minutes... ...If I give a lesson I like to take at least forty minutes over it so that I can teach the pupil something. The American method of living at top speed and white heat cannot be successfully applied to art."

Which I caught Wood's eye, performing a premiere of sorts in the proms in 1906: "the logical clarity of his playing impressed everyone." The following season's work he made undoubtedly a premiere.
The related second I was a pianist who was for a time head if music for the Third Programme
The next I could and would not have caught Wood's eye, being born 7 years after Wood's death and 4688 miles away. But some loved him for being cool and lonely.
