Wow, now I can be the Gershwin of the 20st century, without the need
to learn all these crazy blots on these stupid lines with all those
irritating #'s, b's [1] ?

The learning of the basics of the musical alphabet must have been
a monumental waste of time, just like all these irritating parenteses.

But, lisp is like making a symphony.
Not cobbling togetheter some muzak from the obligatory max of "loaned"
bars of canned stuff others composed and have a computer fill in the
blanks.
That is knowing howto play pianola: (insert coin, choose roll, push
play, move fingers & look smug)

[1] sharps and flats
