Just came across a wonderful saying by R.  H.  Blyth, author of _Zen in
English Literature_: "There is a religion for every person and a person
for every religion" (except that he said "man").  The same applies to
music, I guess, but as in religion, when you get very enthusiastic about
being "saved," it's hard to refrain from running around trying to convert
everyone.
