Classic, yes, but the book said "classical", which is a style of music
covering Bach interwoven with Spohr and Beethoven (at classical Monday
pops). The billiard sharp whom anyone catches... oops, never mind that

different art. That would explain, though, why so many computer
programmers enjoy music...
