Music prodigies - Curiousity, NOT a complaint

This blog expresses curiousity. It's NOT a complaint

Just wondering what makes the music business such a fertile field for the authors here when it comes to young prodigies.

This blog is based entirely on my memory, which is fallible, and I have certainly missed many stories. However, my impression is that the frequency of stories about a young M2F person making a splash in music as a performer is much higher than other fields with the possible exception of modelling.

I have seen stories about young M2F detectives, dancers, actors, authors, sportspersons, the odd business tycoon and visaual artist ... but only one case of each or a very few. I can't remember any Dolly Howser M.D., Joan von Neumann, Srinagarindra Ramanujan, Shelley Cooper, or for that matter Anakine Skywalker.

Since no field appears to attract as much interest as music I'm genuinely interested in learning why.
