What's your favourite keys
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

The ones to the whiskey cupboard.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Any key that allows me to sing unstrained
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
