Art and composing is an activity and sometimes this activity produces results that are useful
in some way to others and sometimes not. No restrictions or comments should ever be put on the

Good point! It's a little late for coffee right now in New York, but
I'll try it tomorrow morning and let you know what I think...

Thanks!
