Dear Members:

I better correct myself: According to the World Book Encyclopedia,
Einstein was a violinist and had a deep love for classical music, but he
did not say, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." That quote
goes to the inventor Thomas A. Edison. Ironically, Edison was almost
deaf at one point of his life. However, if he put his head against a
phonograph speaker, he could hear "through the skull" and detect wrong
notes instantly. Life's interesting despite imperfection (first message)
isn't it?
