I can't find our discussion about it, but check this out: FEATURE WRITING: Gene Weingarten of The Washington Post Weingarten's "Pearls before Breakfast," according to the Post, "began as an audacious experiment in social science: What would happen if one of the greatest musicians in the world appeared incognito outside a Washington D.C. Metro station at rush hour and played some of the most beautiful music ever composed on one of the most valuable violins ever made?" When readers learned that violinist Joshua Bell had played his Stradivarius "to an indifferent, unheeding audience," some said they were inspired to make fundamental changes in their lives. More than 40 clergy members crafted a sermon around the message they found in the story.

The 2008 Pulitzer Prize Winners By The Associated Press MUSIC: "The Little Match Girl Passion," by David Lang Lang, 51, is co-founder and co-artistic director of New York's Bang on a Can, an arts group dedicated to commissioning, performing and presenting new and experimental music. In recent projects Lang has collaborated with filmmakers and other visual artists in the creation of monumental musical environments. Lang has said he believed it was necessary to thwart musical rules to "regain the mystery of hearing music for the first time." He said he might base a piece on "the life span of a potato" or the "rhythms of a blacksmith's hammer in the Middle Ages."

I kinda doubt it myself, but I found it on the Internet, so it must be true.

Welcome! Please stick around... .

All this fuss...as if Chris called Heston a Republican bigot. Check this out: Heston was a proud member of the Peanut Butter Lovers Hall of Fame... Apr 7 2008 11:33AM Associated Press Washington (AP) He played Moses and was head of the NRA, but no accomplishment pleased Charlton Heston more than being a member of the Peanut Butter Lovers Hall of Fame. Heston told AP Radio in 1987 that peanut butter is "a valuable creative contribution to American society, as important as mom and sliced bread." He was just as conservative when it came to peanut butter as he was with politics. Heston ate his plain on bread or an English muffin. He said he didn't go for the "radical combinations" like peanut butter and bananas. After hearing that a reporter's wife put dill pickles on her peanut butter, Heston shivered and said, "that's probably a KGB plot."

And I'd still like to hear what Woody Shaw could have really done with a bugle, instead using all those flashy valves... Unless there's a recording, it's not gonna happen. There's still time for little Terry Ted Bozzio to show us what he can do on the small set. I generally don't have any issues with him, but boy was he the wrong drummer to replace Bruford in UK.

Yeah, but the whole point of a temperament is to iron all that out so you can modulate away from the home key and it will sound more in tune.

It's a good un. No, wait...I love it. It's amazing.

I'm learning a lot here. I knew he was a bad actor and a Republican, but apparently there's so much more... .

But were the gangbangers NRA members? .

Fine Chris but rest assured that everyone here knows exactly what you were saying with your "photoshop" comment. He was saying the photo was Photoshopped aka doctored. He was saying the photo was photoshopped aka doctored aka Heston wasn't there aka Heston was an unreformed Republican bigot, like all the rest. Yep. The photo wasn't fixed, Chris got that bit wrong. Heston did support civil rights although Heston became - like you said - a Republican bigot later. Or he was a Republican bigot who supported civil rights. At any rate, you're right Dan - Heston was a Republican bigot.

I always thought they were aiming to have most of them in tune. Depend on the tuning of course.

Leonard? Is that you? .

Bad actor turns politican...sounds too familiar. .

the birthday is today.

I'd still like to hear him with less drums. .

up for possible discussion? .

have fun! .

Happy Birthday and many more!

That's more like groceries.

Artist model for Steve Morse of the Dixie Dregs. Lot's o' pick up combinations, I guess. He used to play a heavily modded Tele with a bunch of pickups. Another guitar I should check out, but I've never seen one in a store. mo'

Really? What can I get for my copy? I have bills to pay...
