I once had an elderly neighbor sharing my latest batch of limoncello, at home. It prompted comparisons to his own, actual cello, and from that it became apparent that he'd at one time been a very very good cellist, until age crippled him.
A bit embarrassed, perhaps to be talking about himself, he asked me what I played on the piano in the corner. I denied any competence there whatsoever, pointing out that my music came from the far higher authority resident in the racks of CDs in the other corner.
On his third limoncello he wanted to listen to some of it. I played him Sorrow, from A Momentary Lapse of Reason. He cried. I wanted to give him the CD, but he had nothing to play it on.
So great music does transcend generations.
