What a great way of putting it. I'm definitely an 'ear' (not that I've tuned violins - but played the piano and guitar in a past life! HATED sight reading ) and 'observation' person. Now I feel better about it.

p.s. it's a lovely photo of Suzanne, I've seen it. And of her camera (I thought we were allowed to posted the dreaded d's in threads?)
