Every now and then a listmate hits the nail precisely on the head.

I am another of those idle bastards, just getting back into playing 
OKOM piano after years of salaried indolence, and could not agree 
more, except to pickily prefer to substitute "far fewer" for "no" in 
John's pithy coment, the original of which is reproduced below.

    Roger Snell mused :

    " Some of you folks don't have too much to do, do you?"

    I am proud to be among that number. Malt and music (such a delicious
    alliteration) constitute the major part of my day which, after a
    lifetime of salaried indolence and indifference to the prosperity of
    my employers, I richly deserve.

    The world needs idle bastards like me, without us there would be no
    jazz piano players.
