re: #53 Dopamine Fish

I refer you to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, in which the percussionists literally FIRE CANNONS.

I grew up listening to a very wide collection of classical music, was studying music in college and have played in symphony orchestras.

Got a kick out of that picture since I played brass instruments, specializing in French horns, so seeing the bang about to happen behind the f horns reminded me of similar experiences.

Lost hearing in one ear which put a damper on my ambitions. To be fair, I also encountered some folks whose talent blew me away and made me question my ability to compete.

But I’ve retained my love of performance and the difference between listening versus creating.
