On Music -

In the biography of Steven Jobs, Walter Isaacson tells of Yo Yo Ma playing Bach on his 1735 Stradivarius
cello for Jobs in his home.  Jobs said, "Your playing is the best argument I have ever heard for the existence of God because I don't really believe a human alone can do this."

I understand how this can happen after preoccupation with my iPhone.    A new hazard of living. . .
