I so enjoyed this post - I love driving and although living in the country now, do occasionally do the M25 round, when so often being trapped as you say, not much braking goes on. Best test for me is Cairo where my foot hovers ready to pounce and you so need beautiful music to drown out the blare of the horns. How wonderful to hear Eros Ramazzotti again, that indeed brought some wonderful memories back for me, for I was braking around the wonderful desert roads of Al Ain UAE. A delightful post this, so clever equating braking and the good use of gears to the pauses in music - this appealed greatly.Susie Hemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936508273837230613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-14682916656616273652009-10-03T20:20:15.080+01:002009-10-03T20:20:15.080+01:00Cuban: What a fascinating post!

I never actively brought my awareness to it - especially to compare it to rhythms, flow, continuity, beat, breath - so appropriate now that you have comandeered my attention! I have always been aware of trying to create a smooth ride and in fact trying to use my brakes as little as possible - loving properly constructed highways where the curve itself pulls you around without adjusting the steering wheel or braking. Or how increasing your speed rather than applying the brakes makes magic with the centrifical force. Well, as you see - I don't brake much in my mind either. Except to say, now I have to go back and appreciate the music you provided to illustrate your points. I was too caught up in brake bliss to stop and enjoy the music. (Obviously I am talking about driving an automatic and not a standard shift auto - quelle sacrilege!)<br /><br />Thank you!Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-48253470792351679792009-10-03T17:44:48.633+01:002009-10-03T17:44:48.633+01:00Many thanks to you all for your kind comments.

Only you, Mr. Cuban, could equate the act of touching the brake pedal with the cadences and movement of music AND write about it with such eloquence. I shall never brake again without thinking of Maria Rita.<br /><br />It is wonderful to be back here in your world again, Mr. C. I'm off now to catch up on all your posts that I missed during our house-hunting safaris.

You amaze me.<br /><br />On braking, when Wahid brakes, I seriously always want to freak out because he drives right up to the car in front and then brakes.
