   Pretty funny . . . except one of the doctors I type for actually talks like that. By now I can kind of "mentally translate" what he says and turn it into regular English, but sometimes it's a challenge. Fellow is not Chinese, though. East Asi...(more)

   Did you get the one with the MIDI interface? I bring out your old one now and then to the weekly open mic when I don't have the time or inclination to haul out Bertha and amp. Folks always love the tone, and the kids are always amazed that an ...(more)

   Something must have got shaken, because responses to this are all I see! *LOL* Remember first and foremost that Wholenote and AB were graduate school projects for their creators. Also, as was discovered later, the forum interactions were the s...(more)

   That is crazy scary. Up North here in NearlyCanada, we have had the rainiest season I can remember since we moved here in 1985. My only consolation is that since we are very close to the northern Continental Divide (south to the Gulf of Mexico...(more)

    Dave, I think part of it at least is demographics/geography. Somehow I don't think Esperanza Spaulding and Tal Wilkenfeld got a lot of this reaction when they were starting out. I think younger musicians and their audience are not going to be ...(more)

    Clifton, my smarter older brother! There are but 24 hours in the day, and I have to say Facebook takes my social network internet time! But of course, one cannot create interactive music lessons on Facebook, so here I am! Thanks for noticing!...(more)
