I still take on my piano when my meds are working optimally (which is getting trickier to arrange). I'm thinking of trying my hand at composing. I have in mind a novelty piano piece, what Zez Confrey would have written if he had PD, called "Dopey Fingers" - slow music with lots of tremelos and cluster chords. I also want to write lyrics for a Gershwin-inspired song which I'll call "Festinatin' Rhythm". Phil Tompkins
