I am brewing another batch of beer tonight.  This one, according to The Brewer’s Apprentice, is supposed to be similar to Old Speckled Hen, one of my favorite English beers (and available, I may add, at the Cincinnati Airport).I am finding that, while cooking up the beer, I have started to listen consistently to a Jethro Tull playlist.   There seems to be something fitting there for me.  The woodsy flute-induced classic rock mixes well with the act of brewing an old English ale. To contrast that, I have gravitated to listening to Gary Numan while mowing the lawn.  I can’t quite rationalize that one, but it’s the truth.  And the soundtrack to writing functional specifications for complex software systems (my bread and butter)?  Morton Feldman, of course.  Or possibly Lief Inge or some other extremely slowed down piece of music.
