I always thought that was a case of finger memory.  That's when you   a
piece of music   memorized  well enough to play but  when  you make a
mistake  you realize    you can't just pick it up where you left off  like a
real musician can .  Instead you  have to go back to the beginning and start
  all over again.   A real musician  understands the music he's playing.
You haven't really  learned it.  All you've done is   teach  your fingers
how to  get through it.

Nick might have been able  learn how to play the violin by  draining a
muscian but I doubt if he could pick up all the nuances of the musician's
knowledge of music  simply from his blood.  Therefore his new found ability
to  play the violin would be more  finger memory than actual talent which is
why it   can't last.

There have been  many cases where    a child prodigy decides   to      go
back  to the beginning  and  start learning   music and musical theory  just
so he or she can      understand    what    the gift they have.

I can see most vamps thinking new technology is pretty nifty, especially the
stuff like online shopping that lets them get around a lot of the restrictions of
not being able to go out in the daylight.  The one thing that's crossed my mind
several times is that I would imagine that any vampire over the age of 50 would
find the our all-consuming addiction to television completely incomprehensible.
Heck, *I* find it pretty incomprehensible, but I grew up in a house without
cable.

Subject: Sending a package to Greg

Hey all,

I'm going to be mailing a package to Greg Kramer around the 19th of February.

If anyone wants to include something *small* -- a letter, funny card,
knickknack, token of your esteem, etc. -- email me off-line and I'll give
you my address.

Subject: FK moment

When I saw the headline, "UC Considers Using Barcodes for Cadavers,"
I couldn't help but think of FK and wonder what might happen if our
vamps were mistakenly barcoded.  On the bright side, Natalie would be
able to keep track of Nick.

Greg's birthday is coming up in March, so this is a great time to send him a
little something. Hisselfishness really enjoys the attention, me thinks.
