Three years ago to the day, I published an article wherein I studied a 1923 book on reading tea leaves (available thanks to Project Gutenberg) for notes on the symbolism of musical instruments. Why did I do this? We have a "music" category on The New Leaf Journal but it is almost entirely filled by my friend, Victor V. Gurbo. I wanted to make my own musical contribution.
