Diversity of Aim

You may recall the proverb, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This proverb first appeared in the 1659 collection "Proverbs in English, Italian, French and Spanish" by James Howell. The expressed sentiment was first recorded by the Egyptian sage Ptahhoptep, who in circa 2400 B.C. wrote, "One that reckoneth accounts all the day passeth not a happy moment. One that gladdeneth his heart all the day provideth not for his house. The bowman hitteth the mark, as the steersman reacheth land, by diversity of aim."

That is the general purpose of this blog—diversity of aim. And as noted in the title, it is of a musical sort. Here I will present commentaries and creations. I hope you enjoy them.
