Full Version: Food Or Music?
Forums > ABRSM > Forums Cafe
Music...
If you had to choose between food and music, which would you decide? Is that garlic bread just tempting or is the music your life?

Please choose and state why...

I love eating as long as it isn't horrible stuff smile.gif

Can't really choose.

I would select music. if someone told me I can have all the food I ever wnated but I had to give up my violin then I would tell them to push off.

Put simply: I am very good at playing teh violin but average at best at cooking. To me food is just something used to cure hunger.

...and then you would die from lack of food.

Excellent. You won't be able to be very loyal to it when you are dead though... rolleyes.gif

I would have said music if you hadn't mentioned garlic bread... wub.gif

I would choose food.

Then I would choose music.

Then I would go back to my first choice.

With suitable gaps in between in each one.

Now that is just plain cheating!!

That's a good idea! Could I pick food in the morning, and music in the afternoon? Spend the morning eating enough to last me until the next morning and then play enough music to last me until the next afternoon? laugh.gif

I think the name of the forum 'Food OR Music?' Eating in the morning and music in the afternoon just defeats the whole objective of the question! (Because, this is such a serious forum...) tongue.gif

Oh well! tongue.gif I really can't answer the question then. I really want to say music, but everyone needs food (I know everyone here needs music aswell!). I hope I don't ever actually have to choose between food and music!
Music...
What happens if someone randomly comes up to you and says "I shall shoot you...unless you decide to choose between food and music..."

You'll be pretty much stuffed. biggrin.gif

Well that's a choice between death, death and eating but no music! laugh.gif

Food.
It's a simple choice really, I made a vou to find the best hamburger in the world. wink.gif
Music...
I'd lie and say the first random thing that comes into my head...then I'll run away, so they'll never find me playing my piano (or cello), or I'd use my Tae-Kwon-Do skills to knock them out! tongue.gif

See, you only need a little bit of thought. biggrin.gif

You didn't say in your OP that the decision was to be a once and for all decision, so as that part of the question was not precise I answered it correctly - at any particular moment in time I will choose Food OR Music. laugh.gif

Or something else equally as interesting...

I think the two complement each other nicely... wub.gif

That's true, but it's even truer in my case; pianos serve as good tables. smile.gif

I've never used one as a table.

My ideal situation would be eatung a perfectly cooked steak with someone playing a romantic tune on some form of string instrument, preferably a harp.

maybe one day when I am no longer a student I can afford to learn the harp. I hope, anyway.

Yay! And would this been in heaven once you've died of starvation? tongue.gif

When anyone answers to this questoin keep in mind that you would only survive for a month without food. So the question should be; would you rather live a life without music or live a month with music. mellow.gif

I do enjoy food, so much so that indulge in it about 3-4 times a day.
The piano however, a mere 2-3 times per week in the summer holidays...

I'm finding myself playing more and more lately. I can easily do 5 or more hours on a Saturday or Sunday if I don't have anything else planned and 2 or 3 hours on a weeknight. My sister says that I am becoming "addicted"... rolleyes.gif
Violin Hero
While I can't practice for more than about 1 hour at any 1 time I can easily not get bored after 4+ hoirs an orchestra rehearsal.

All I am saying is that if I have musical people with me I can keep going for hours upon hours upon hours......

However I can't play when I am hungry, I have programmed my brain not to all me to do so.
CoolFlute
Wow some of you guys seem to play more regularly than I eat!! Though the piano as a table sounds quite cool biggrin.gif
