Lelia said, "Playing the clarinet in my high school orchestra, I sometimes
imagined that
I was one digit of a millipede-like creature. "

Lelia, Have you been doing drugs lately? (Just kidding) I'll agree that
piano strengthens most musical skills and I wonder if that's why I love
ensemble playing so much. I've finally overcome much of my stage fright
where piano is concerned-I simply don't play anything from memory anymore
(silly piano tradition).
