Music
I have read that music is closely tied to mathematics, but I'm no judge of that, as I have the musical gift but not the mathematical. When I took up music, it was 1966, so of course I chose the guitar. After almost 45 years it seems unlikely I will ever put it down. I am not a professional musician, although I have little doubt that I could be, were I so inclined. I've got mad chops, as they say, and I can duplicate almost any guitar part. What really turns me on about music however is the creative aspect, the ability to grab an instrument and make new music that has never been played before! It has always seemed like magic to me, this spontaneous production of new musical ideas, and while I don't think I've had any Bach or Mozart moments, it is pleasant to listen to and in fact you can listen to it here: http://www.reverbnation.com/#!/linfloyd or if you'd like a lesson on how to play Norwegian Wood, And You and I from Yes, Still You Turn me on, Rocky Mountain High, you'll find them here on YouTube.
