I was driving L to the church for a youth activity this morning and, while en route, doing what I do: singing random snippets of music. She asked me what song I was singing, and I answered, "I don't know. I'm making it up as we go along." Then I explained how sometimes little tunes will get in my head and tumble around there while I try out different words with the tune. I whistled the stretch I had been playing with all morning.
"Sounds like Beethoven," was her response.
Beethoven!? Wow! I was floored that she would think of him when hearing my music. A little surge of pride began filling my heart.
Mid-surge, however, she finished her thought: "He's the deaf one, right?"
Um, yeah.
I think I'll just be keeping my future compositions to myself.
