Years ago I enjoyed (in the way I do also with books and you-tube videos on popular science)reading about philosophy despite never really getting my head around the topics discussed. I recently started reading a book of articles from the Oxford University Press (1976) entitled The Philosophy of Mind that I read (along with Bertrum Russel's "History of Western Philosophy") in 1978/9 ........It got me thinking/remembering.

What It Is To Forget. What Is It, To Forget? [2019-2021]

I was born in Leicester in the late 1950's. Since semi-retirement and subsequent retirement (as a Dermatologist and formerly G.P) I have spent some of my spare time trying to learn music theory. I also enjoy long distance running as well as cycling, skiing and tennis. I enjoy cooking, gardening and growing a few vegetables. And fine wine (in moderation). I enjoy insect photography, with a particular interest in hoverflies..
To my regret I never learnt a musical instrument when younger but I have listened to and been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. The advent of the computer age has allowed me to pursue my desire to compose music. I use Logic Pro X software (and MuseScore3 for recent piano compositions). My compositions reflect my varied listening preferences (including Contemporary Classical, Jazz and  Music from other cultures around the world).
