...pictured music, though, is another issue. Psych A students may still remember the experiment in which a composition was played for subjects who gave it a title according to the mental images it evoked in their minds. Anything from "Charge of the Light Brigade" to "Face on the Barroom Floor" might be applied to a work entitled by its composer "Sunset in Peaceful Valley."

A. which rarely mixes liquor with its lyrics, explains simply: "A drunk can't sing." Equally proud is the society of the propriety of its songs, not one of which "you couldn't sing in Church...
