I had to stop playing because of the hand tremors caused when they upped my dosage of epilepsy meds to control seizures, but my sister currently plays for her small church. I wonder if the differences in the level of musical appreciation are due to our brains being wired different ways? And does that explain why some of us listen to music constantly, are moved greatly by it, are very intense about our musical favorites, and others aren't?
