7/4

Sorry 'bout your mom, but it's good to see you back Rooster!

I don't think so. They were both playing Jazz. -_-

Ah. He is sitting here watching this thread.

Like "tuxedos"? I don't know...maybe if it featured nipple shields.

I haven't drank buttermilk since I was a kid (at least 34 or more years ago), but my niece (19) flipped out when see saw me sucking on a lemon at XMas. Sour cream on strawberries? No problem with that. My 80 yr old Mother is German, I grew up eating all sorts of things. At one point, she got a multi volume set of world cooking books, we got to try all sorts of stuff. Later, I applied this to my taste in music.

Whew!

And it took two weeks for this to hit the news. I remember seeing it in the news clips after the wardrobe malfunction and thought it was pretty racist. I mean...WTF? As for OutKast's Hey Ya!, I haven't heard it and hope I don't.

Yin/Yang Bop?

There's more problems than just getting in, I getting double postings with error messages and just opening different forums.

11:47 EST I just figgured that out.

I picked it up this afternoon. The first track is amazing, I had to stop it during the second track because a Norton Anti-Virus scan is making it skip. This disc is from a classic Braxton era that I love, just thought I'd spin it past you folks! I listened to the first disc of the Circle Paris 1972 concert on the way home this evening, it's been ages since I've heard that one. Pretty damm cool in my book.

And it's a shame it's not on CD. Maybe they have more in the vaults? Ooh I hope so!

On the Sensations of Tone by Herman Helmholtz (Dover) is an ancient classic, but it's more of a reference work for me. Genesis of a Music by Harry Partch is another interesting classic. Partch was also a composer and instrument builder, so he gets into more than just tuning theory. Check his music out too, very strange, but cool! The book that I got after those two is where I made my breakthrough and made the most sense to me was The Just Intonation Primer by David Doty. http://www.justintonation.net/primer1.html An Just Intonation explanation by Doty: http://www.justintonation.net/whatisji.html The Just Intonation Network web site One note (well two): 1. expect a long delivery time 2. don't bother with the membership, "newsletters" are published when he gets his act together. Edited fer screwy html code!

There's a Pharoah Sanders Impulse where Cecil McBee nails the 7th harmonic (partial) in a bass line. It's no mistake, he repeats it over and over again for a few minutes.

Which comma? The Pythagorean comma or some other one like the septimal comma?

Nice! Are those your own or are they from Harmonic Experience (it's been a long time and I never finshed reading it anyway). They're from Harmonic Experience. Those books changed my musical life, I tell ya! Cool. I think I'll be taking a flip through that book this week end. I need a FAQ for my web site and I think I'll illustrate some of my points with quotes. I was thinking of comparing Just vs. evil...uh, Equal to having sex with or without a condom. But I'm not too sure that would be very responsible.

I'd call it a harmonic, but lately I'm finding that calling it a harmonic confuses the snot out of folks new to the subject of Just Intonation. BTW: the intervals in JI are named as ratios. The seventh harmonic is known as 7/4.

That's right. Nice! Are those your own or are they from Harmonic Experience (it's been a long time and I never finshed reading it anyway). You're doing fine! I'll be back later with some other examples.....

Ah, but I didn't mention grabbing those cupcakes with my hands!

That's some pretty funny sheet!

I'm on a diet, but I'll have a nibble.

This will be crushing news for Randy. but that's just because hardly anyone can play the damn thing decently. Name a top notch cowbell solo.....

I waited 'til I saw the sun I don't know why I didn't come I left you by the house of fun I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand Catching teardrops in my hand My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever Out across the endless sea I would die in ecstacy But I'll be a bag of bones Driving down the road alone My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come I feel as empty as a drum I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come

Any thoughts? It's on sale at DMG.
