Well this was heartening Martin -this line of 'pro and amateur' -what about
living enjoying practising all the arts especially in the bedroom -seems
like some doorways being closed-leave it to the professionals -sod that -we
live we write we paint we cook we drink we sing and even other things-
Cheers P

I am proud always to have been a dabbler - in life, in music, in poetry,
in ballet (ah! who remembers my fluted demi-piranhas in
Schmidt-Cremoni's *Dragonballs*) & cooking (I cooked several people's
geese but they hardly noticed), not to mention self-abuse of several
kinds - et j'en oublie.
