I enjoy your music, I really didn't mean to have my comments suggest 
that anyones music or methods were invalid, although I can see how they 
were construed as such.  I apologize for that.

PG:
No need to apologize - I didn't read anything of the kind coming from
you (that I can remember...). Me think you have rattled a few cages,
which is always good.
 
BT:
I began this thread by saying that I think that the current instruments 
will evolve, and there will come a time when they are quite different 
from what they are currently, and most likely integrated with 
electronics, and stand by that assertion.

PG: 
I didn't see that statement in the earlier posts - I take back my
question about your view on the evolution of instruments.

BT:
Maybe I'm wrong.  I'm prepared for that too.


PG:
Just like Ava wants to get past gender, I want to get past right and
wrong (I want to get past gender too!).

Further, as I mentioned last night, we're all just talking (through our
cyber-keyboards), there's no reason to for any of us to feel threatened
by anyone's opinion. So what if we don't agree on everything?  This
isn't the White House - we don't have to confiscate Barry's laptop
because we caught him on tape snuffing out contrabasses. 

We can all still play music together, we can still avoid each other at
the supermarket; we can still send birthday cards if we remember to do
so; we can still go hear each other play from time to time; we can still
order papusas at El Zocalo or grind our own pesto.

Good night everyone...it seems like January is off to a rockin' start on
the ol' BA NEW MUS list.
