OK...I knew I should have smelled a fish on that one. Ah well...

seriously, my daughter was 13 at the time, thought
"taylor's dreeamy....

I gotta say I'm lucky on that score. My girls all think that they're disgusting. I'm even starting to corrupt the middle one on such goodies as LTE, Gentle Giant, IQ, etc., and the eldest on some of the mellower stuff. The thing that leaves me speechless is that the youngest seems to like Par Lindh Project. That one left me gobsmacked.

i got the musical equivolent of second hand smoke,
only worse. the lungs can heal eventually,
but those lyrics are forever burned into my brain..(sob).

You have my sincerest condolences, Kirk. Mine think that Brittney Spears is a bimbo with "all the talent of an empty 2 liter Diet Coke Bottle". Yes, that was the middle daughter talking. She's really coming along.

there you go... anyone acts up...tell'em you're gonna
play hanson... that'll be the end of it.

That won't work. They know that I'll have to listen too.

Although I did turn on Dominique (the same MP3 that I posted earlier) and told them that if they didn't knock off the bickering that I'd not only feed that to the TV whenever it was turned on, but also the PCs and the cell phones as well.

I don't know if they thought I was joking or serious, but whatever it did, it worked, since they bucked up and flew right for the rest of that night.

y'know dot, you're one of the few people i know
that gets use of that "maestro" font. ,

I've been around a while.

.....let alone can name the final note of the firebird!

Heh. F above the staff. Concert Bb4 (or is it 5?). First chair French Horn, Independence High School, 1982.

Yes, I got to play the horn solo. Yes, I did haunting very well at the time.

you should check out scoring/notation programs like
sibelius, finale. enter a note, it sounds via midi
on a keyboard. they also play w/ those garritan strings
i mentioned previously. i believe there's a free one included.
here's that link- www.garritan.com

I've checked out Sibelius, but I can't afford it. I'd give body parts to be able to get a copy though (a real one, not one that won't save and has limitations on its usage). It's a wonderful program, even with the limitations I've had. I even managed to hack out a nice little 12 part brass choir ditty that I wasn't completely ashamed of.

Yah, I like Sibelius. I just can't afford it.

Roger -Dot- Lee, imagine what Mozart could have done with it!
