I get the classical thing just fine too, but I have to be able to hear 
the processes, which pretty much eliminates twelve tone music, which 
sounds to my ears identical to aleatoric processes.

A young re****ter once interviewed me and some other blind folks for a 
New York Times human interest piece on the perils of urban blindness. To 
make his experience more authentic, he got mobility training and walked 
around for a week, day and night, with a blindfold on, using a cane. 
But, the day before his experiment was to end, he went to the park to 
play his flute and was attacked by a homeless man who began searching 
through his backpack in an attempt to rob him. During the previous day's 
interview, I cautioned him that whereas I could not remove my eye patch 
and return to "normal" sighted life, he could and would soon enough. So, 
when he felt attacked, he ripped off that patch and did battle.
