Ability

Errol Garner, jazz pianist, could not read or write music. Yet he commanded the respect of musical authorities and the enthusiasm of millions of listeners.

A magazine writer once asked him. "How is it you can make such wonderful music without being able to read a note?"

Garner shrugged, "A beaver don't have to go to engineering school to build a dam."

-from the book, "More Anecdotes of the Great" by J. Maurus
