It is a pet imagination that many people do type up their compositions these days and somehow forego pen and paper. I still use both methods but age has diminished the fine motor skills of these fingers, hence jabbing and pounding away at keys has its own reward and satisfaction! Thanks so much for visiting and sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for the reply. My fingers no longer work well either. Years ago, I played the Piano at church; and, in the days before the internet, I could type better than sixty words per minute on almost any typewriter. But gout and arthritis has made off with both my musical contribution to church, and my ability to type on an actual typewriter. I am lucky to get my laptop's keyboard right. My physician told me, years ago, that I had the very rare genetic disposition to get gout in the fingers as well as the legs/feet/toes, and that, in his medical career, he had never seen gout in the fingers before he met me. I just said, "Lucky me to be a rare genetic anomaly." and then begged him for a cortisone shot.
Gout is no friend of mine! I remember being my Grandfather's page, as a gout sufferer he would lean on me much like the Earl of Dorincourt did lean on the shoulders of Cedric Errol (Little Lord Fauntleroy). Or so I imagined. My dad had it too and at a younger age as well. So my battle with this foe appears to have been preset before me.
