Why have I always been obsessed by time and timing?

I could play Anything by ear on the piano, I could figure out and play any instrument that you threw at me — might still be able to but I’m way out of practice — but I could never keep time steadily.

My motor always ran a little fast or a little slow. Erratic undependable.

And it was subtle – in the realm of milliseconds but most of music is in the realm of a few hundred milliseconds, at least the color timber texture onset harmonics — and timing…
