Possible Comment on A007095

[Nick Hobson]

Jeremy,

This is an example of a Kempner series; see  
http://www.qbyte.org/puzzles/p072s.html#kempner for some approximate sums,  
and a reference to "Gamma: Exploring Euler's Constant", by Julian Havil.

- better name, better offset

The trouble is, I have 10,000 things to do
and nor enough time

Seqfans,  I heard this work on the radio
last night.  I've never heard a musical
piece which so closely resembles an integer sequence!
Does anyone have the score?
