Total nonsense. If doing that within the stated limitations makes them
happy, it's a valid choice.

We said nothing about "happy." There are always people making legal, but >bad choices.

Perhaps, but that you think something is a bad choice, doesn't make it
a bad choice. It's not all about you, as much as you'd like it to be.

You're just an insignificant wuss with a pathetic, and *unfullfilled*
need to tell other people what to do.

I am familiar with a Catrike. While it isn't to mu tastes I would hardly criticize it. Pay no attention to Frank. He is hardly worth your time.

Well... There about 4,000,000 teachers in the U,S, and 75% are female

Perhaps you'd like to explain if that is true why less than 10% of my teachers were women and they were all in grade school?

Music is not on the above list of useless degrees.

Music, like history, is one of those college degrees where the only
thing you can do with it is teach. Outside of teachers, I suspect that >>> the vast majority of people who earn living with music never had much

<LOL> I doubt the lack of knowledge of music theory caused Willy
Nelson, Peter Frampton, Paul Simon, John Lennon, McArtney, or George Harrison, any trouble... Need I go on? I could fill the page with succesful musician/composers who never even heard the term "music
theory."

No, You couldn't. In fact, every one of the musicians you listed are
more than familiar with the term. When one transcribes music to the page
- which all of them have done and are quite famous for - a knowledge of chords structures and notational skills are required, Regardless of how
or where they learned it. Both of those are basic music theory.

Lennon-McCartney vocal harmonies and chord structures are some of the
most innovative of any in pop music, rivaling that of Brian Wilson.

You don't construct and transcribe such complexities without having a fundamental knowledge of the Circle of Fifths.

You really need to stop demonstrating your blinding ignorance.

I played in a several bands and I did it all by ear. But ALL good musicians can and do read music so I have to agree with you. There is a difference in being able to back up someone that knows the music off of the page and being able to write it. Willy
Nelson and the rest of those DO Write their own.
