Don Rechtman,

that is histerical, but i think i much identify with your pain!
i suffer a similar problem with concentration, but related to too much recorder and violin practice, i dont even think it has a name! (maybe we should try and set up a support group!) x

Dairy, Its a well know fact that Eva Braun, Hitler’s missus, suffered so much from VBS from vibration after several years testing of the Volkswaschmaschine, that Hitler reclassified it as the Volswagen and thus a legend was born

For years I’ve suffered from “Composer’s Forehead,” a bothersome albiet benign syndrome caused by too much concentration on the arranging of orchestral works. The problem was perhaps understood before its time by the sculptor Rodin, who physically documented the related syndrome “Thinker’s Chin.”

ooh that’s harsh, Yampster!!! for info, it also affects bikers, particularly Harley Davidson riders, as the machines produce quite a lot of vibration when moving….

Having said all that there is a version of ‘Vibration White Finger’ (VBS) which affects drummers in beat combos. VBS was first discovered in Coal Miners who use heavy hand held drilling machinery for hours on end. Although the condition was well known for years it did not become serious in the UK until the pits closed down and compensation set in. It was thought that Keith Moon’s severe VBS caused his inability to steer Rolls Royce Silver Clouds effectively anywhere near a swimming pool.
