I'm reminded that sometimes music speaks to the head, sometimes to the
heart, and sometimes lower down.

Also there was a quote from Woody Guthrie about when one has learned to play
the guitar.
It goes something like this:  You just plank your ass up against the side of
the barn and start twanging the strings.  Do this until you have drawn a big
crowd around to listen, then you have learned how to play the guitar.
