flashback

i overheard a conversation between randy and one of his piano students the other day. it brought back memories of my own piano lessons:

randy: i want you to use the metronome more.
ben: but i don't like the metronome.
randy: the metronome is your friend.
ben: the metronome is not my friend. the metronome is my enemy.
randy: it's not your enemy. the metronome is my friend and i want it to be your friend, too.

i don't think that i thought of the metronome as my enemy, but it was certainly that annoying friend that you don't really want around if it was my friend.
