For over half a century, I lived a life where the early morning coffee played no part. And then one morning it changed, and I have now become a spokesman for the morning coffee – hot, black and inviting. Eliot might have measured out his life with coffee spoons, but the remainder of my life shall be measured out with coffee mugs. The morning coffee mugs, which, as every coffee lover knows, is different from those used the rest of the day. By extension, a writer is a device for turning coffee into books, and a composer is a device for turning coffee into music.
