If only it were true for me.  I can play the guitar like a gud'un.  I have been
playing guitar since I was 14 years old.  I even teach others to play.  I can
play along to most music played on the radio or tape/CD. I have been payed to
play, in groups and backing tracks for records.  I love music!  I heard that
music clip, that Tim Mann, the writer of Winboard has for download.  Within two
mins., I had the chords and was playing along.
Yet my chess is hit and miss, more miss than hit? The game of chess is a
mystery, that I can not solve.  Music is so simple I am suprised that everyone
can not play along!
