I just noticed Lon's response to this when it comes to the sound and so to avoid the confusion between our answers, I was referring to sound in relation to a collection of CD-R's instead of a professionally done "standard" disc. Yup, better than "bootleg", but less than a "standard". Here's a sample so you can hear for yerself: Body and Soul

Congrats to all of you! Now the hard part: The Name! (I'll toss in "Miranda")

That's why I think it should be tomorrow on 420.

I want to mention that we have another bad storm coming thru the D/FW area, so if the board goes down, then this may possibly be the reason why. If there's an alternative board to go to then y'all should maybe think about that as a possibility. Just a note to let you know. R~~

There's also 3 volumes of Rough Guide discs that you may be able to get for cheap.

Better than you'd expect sound from the soundboard and it's got a good standards/avant mix.

I like it because it's very neutral (very unlike Slonimsky himself: read his Musical Invective)! It's good as a reference for trying out new ideas - using scales and chords that may have not occurred to you to use. I think what's frustrating for many users is that it's not descriptive - it's not meant to be a how-to, but rather a type of reference book of possibilities. For my interests, this book and the Masaya Yamaguchi one often fulfill a need.

You mean that there's still a Sharper Image in business? Major lawsuits and closing of (apparently not all) of their businesses would have me looking for a new job.

Next, we will have an explanation of Brownian Motion by the originator of this thread -

I especially like this part:

I'm all ears.

The link makes you sign up, so I've reprinted it here: Dallas seeks to tighten sexual business rules after case of 12-year-old stripper Case of 12-year-old dancer prompts call for ordinance change Dallas city officials are looking into ways to revise an ordinance regulating sexually oriented businesses after it was reported that employing someone under the age of 18 isn't enough to shut down a strip club. WFAA-TV and The Dallas Morning News reported the existence of the loophole this week after it came to light that a 12-year-old girl had danced nude at a northwest Dallas strip club. "We have to protect the safety of minors," Mayor Pro Tem Elba Garcia said Thursday. "Who would have thought that we would find a 12-year-old in one of those places?" City attorneys are exploring ways to revise the ordinance and will report back to the City Council. The sixth-grader danced at Diamonds Cabaret over a two-week period late last year, police said. They also say they found a 17-year-old girl working in the club in January. Operators of the Diamonds Cabaret at 2444 Walnut Ridge St. have not returned calls for comment. Their sexually oriented business license expires in November. Demonica Abron, 27, who worked as a stripper in the club, and David Bell, 22, are facing charges in connection with the 12-year-old girl's dancing in the club. Mr. Bell does not appear to have been employed by the club. According to court documents, the 12-year-old told club employees that she was 19, but couldn't give them identification and didn't know what year she was born if she were that age. Still, she was allowed to dance in the club, records show. The 23-page city ordinance allows the revocation of a club's license if, for example, the club knowingly allows prostitution, the sale or use of drugs at the club, or if there are two convictions for sex-related crimes at the club within a 12-month period. The city also can suspend, but not revoke, the license of an escort agency for up to 30 days if it has employed anyone younger than 18. But the ordinance does not give the city similar power over adult cabarets such as Diamonds Cabaret.

As much as I dislike government interference, it's, sadly, needed in order to protect us from ourselves. Lack of respect, lack of common sense, etc... Today, the city of Dallas has to look again at their ordinances concerning local clubs because of a "loophole" that allowed a 12 year old to dance naked in one of them here. So yet another appendage to a law... R~~
