Joy With... Axe?

Is that what it's called Abbot?

An axe?

In Jest, the tennis racquet is a stick.

In both cases they are instruments that manipulate...

But music has no "object" to manipulate as we find in the Dad's beautifulsad description of his beloved game. The object in tennis is the ball - which the Dad rips apart with his bare hands (like Brando).

But in music? There is no object.

Or is the object sound?

Or the soul?
