I'm perplexed, though, by your application of the term 'negative' to my figural imagery.
We have a VA hospital back home in St. Louis. Like many of our colleagues, we hear continued concerns about the access and the service. I have seen a statistic that more than 60,000 veterans today are waiting more than 6 months for an appointment at a VA hospital.
But you can't extend, or go beyond any point musically, without the basic fundamentals.
