“Between learning and forgetting”
From a new novel about music and the muse:
Two months ago, she was raw and unblended; tonight she was reasonably effective; someday very soon she would be in danger of marbling over into a slick cast impression of herself. The target was only microns wide, and history’s great singers may simply have been those who happened to make a record in the brief time between learning and forgetting how to manage their power.
Happy Easter.

Doug,
Thanks for mentioning this book. I’m going to read it. I’ve been trying to find a good new fiction book since the birth of the baby. I can read it during the times she is keeping us up at night.
