Nice one, Robert. The Mexican lady has a wonderfully expressive face; why, then, do models often find it hard going to emote ten percent of what she was giving?

Of one thing I am sure: of all of the arts, music can the most easily get into your soul and render you an emotionally helpless creature when the right sounds come calling. I never had tears run down my cheeks looking at photos (not even bad ones), paintings, sculpture or stained glass - but with music, not so rare an event. Ironically, perhaps, I have no musical talent of my own - a massive regret with which I eventually learned to live. It could be that that’s why I value it so highly.

There are indeed passages in music that do that.
