Ah, finally this explains why my son plays the way he does. I thought
it was just the usual "faster is better" attitude that one finds in
teen-aged boys (I had the same disease as a youth), but now I know the
real cause. This improves my temperament considerably.

I'll have to tell him if he can't play in the key of C, he should play
in Key Largo.
