[Magdalen] Music question

[Jay Weigel]

My UK and Greek pen pals when I was a teen all wrote in Italic script. I
loved it and found it wonderfully easy to read. I wish we taught it to our
kids here rather than cursive. I made an attempt to learn it some years
ago, but couldn't make the switch. My handwriting has always been
abominable, but after I got into healthcare it got worse. By association, I
guess.
