See I can't get a used one because I'm so allergic to cats that about 3 minutes in (some) houses with them I am gasping for air. The only thing I'm allergic to. (Well as a kid honey bee stings but hasn't bothered me after I turned 18.)
And it has nothing to do with clean or dirty houses. It's just some cats are lethal. We always ask when invited somewhere, and if they have cats they can come here.
I played that synth at the store and it sounded nice. I tend to have gigs where I play classical stuff and hymns so layering sounds is great. And the wife and I do a lot of celtic stuff, and I can't seem to get my head around using 3/4 for 6/8 or 12/8 timing, so we do without backing tracks.
Sigh, my dream had been on the wishlist since day one, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8....
I don't need to cover John Pickard or Cowell, or Stavinsky (Rite of Spring) or any of the other crazy meter guys, just compound duple is about 1/2 of our repetoire, I think the wife gets a crank turn outta that stuff....she accuses me of being able to 4/4 a 3/4 faster than an Hungarian Dance can go and I think Brahms should just slow down and to do that slow fast slow fast thing. Ah vell.
I have the cash, but...well I don't know.

Incidentally, I'll go ahead and apologize for an "off-the-path" glance, but since RC stuff surfaced, check out the MikroKopter. We're getting a couple on a forthcoming grant, hopefully, to do some miniaturized remote sensing things. The Web address is: http://vimeo.com/6194911It's worth a look!! Cecil

I don't know about MIA but get one of those chopper gizmo's with led lights and fly her in the dark up at the psch hospital about 2 a.m. from your van and watch as they run outta meds. All those 3 letter agencies would be involved. Actually I know a few whacked politicians who's houses I'd like to buzz in the dark with flashing coloured lights. They'd never get elected again after going public about UFO's. Some woman used to run for mayor every 3 years on a 'platform' to build a platform for UFO's on the premise if you build it they will come. When asked what size she said all the UFO's she saw were about 100 feet across so you'd build it 150 feet across for comfort, and put it in the middle of the city. It would be a tourist attraction, especially after they came. With 150,000 votes she got like 12. (Now ducking ((quacking u up)) maybe she got lead poisoning from her guitar.) ...run john run people don't get funny...lead guitar ha ha.

Funny how some words can have different meanings depending on the context they are used in, you could say a runner is not likely to take the lead if he has lead in his boots.
That goes on to, first it is great to know that some once regular posters but recently absent, are still around and haven't yet finished up on a heavenly cloud playing some angelic lute or harp.
As for threads going off topic, I run round quite a few different forums and behaviour here is quite angelic in comparison to some. However although a musician in a small way I am more of a computer geek and spend time helping others with general computer problems, so don't post in here very often, but if someone's got a question, and I know an answer I will post it.
Now to get back on something resembling topic, good to see you Russ and remember reading quite a lot of your posts in my earlier days as a member here. Now where are the other two who were mentioned at the start of this thread?

Probably the most interesting concept to date. Applications of this are mind numbing. Thanks for the link.
