hmmmm. Fascinating. I "see" words (when I am spelling
them). and I won a spelling bee in the fifth grade by spelling
antidisestablishmentarianism. The funny thing is that word is
phonetic! I don't recall if I read a lot - but I do recall coming home
crying on the first day of first grade because they didn't teach me how to
read. So for some reason I have just been born with an innate need to be
able to read.
SAY -
maybe since I "see" words instead of "hear"ing them - maybe that would have
something to do with my inability to sight read music, or to play by ear, or to
be able to sing either?? I can study music and learn it, but I can't just
play it off the bat.

It's funny you should mention
that some 'feel or see or smell' the music.
Just last week, I was
having a discussion with my wife regarding my inability to spell correctly,
and the main difference that we found, was due to our early childhood. we were
both read to a lot, however, she also did a lot more reading than I did. the
consensis is that she can see the words when she writes them, whearas I 'HEAR'
hear them, and write them as I think they
sound.
Interesting.....
and Welcome Julie! There can never be
enough Yello
fans!

I too sometimes have images or even stories conjured up in my
