You do know that "smith" is the most proud name in human language? The "maker". The "smith". I wish to god that I get to be with you sometime. Maybe I can find out the next Millward reunion and meet you there? A thousand drums by ...[text shortened]... of legend being sung at the fifty foot fire? Tweek yer' interest?
alley! Our problem for now, you may remember me mentioning,
is Juli's mum is in desparate need of some TLC, having lost a leg
to diabetes so Julie is with her for the summer which is severely
limiting our band practice. Come septober though we should be back
on track. My wife and I have a great friend, Marc Giddleson, who
plays the big acoustic bass like the guitaroon, he backed us up
at Jacobs Ladder on the shores of the Kennaret (the Sea of Galilee).
He is going to the Mariposa folk fest in july and my wife and I are
trying to figure out how to do it. We have old ones living with us
so its hard to get away much. I might go by myself with Marc or
maybe Susan, one of us has to stay back and mind the old ones and
the young ones for that matter. We just got together some teaching
tapes Susan recorded for the lap dulcimer, a folk instrument, and
are making copies to sell with the books she wrote, tabbing out
the tunes and having the words to songs,etc. She spent a lot of time
teaching and she founded two Duclimer Societies, the Arizona Dulcimer
Society, and the Israel Dulcimer Society. Google in Susan Jennings
and dulcimer and you will come to a site of a great folk club, the
Kibbutz Tzora folk club run by Judy and Lynn Lewis, British Jews who
made Alya about 30 years ago and are into bluegrass and started the
folk club there. Susan's pic is there and the ladies of her dulcimer
society as well. Both societies are going strong ten and twenty years
later. I know you aren't into folk music but its something to check out
when you have some spare time.

BTW... I hope you can appreciate a little contrapuntal trumpet from fifty yards. That is what I do.
Or I can get up into a mike with a 'monica. That don't seem fair though. That ain't talent. That is just hummin'.

Well there are certainly more scales than the well tempered, which
BTW was only exemplified by Bach not invented by him. I assume
you know the math behind the scale, the 12th root of two?
I played with that, as well as a lot of other people! Stringed
instruments like guitar are well suited to getting between the notes
by bending the strings, at least ...[text shortened]... maybe 4 separate rows of keys,
can you imagine Mozart getting hold of a keyboard like that?"😉
well, I'm in a hurry 'cos I must to go to sleep! LOL. Tomorrow I have to work, sigh....
So. Im going to deviate from the main topc (scales) but Ill continue with it tomorrow, with more time at hand to chat...
I'm going to bed just now. 😴
I leave my computer on, reproducing a colection of almost 300 classic pieces.
I wonder which it would be the result of an hypoteical encounter between Mozart and Scott Joplin? I think that Wolfie would said to Scott (after hearing some of his rags): "err... let me to try"... And he would catch instantly the feel of a rag and put (poor Scott) to blame!
Well, it is only my imagination... LOL
Have a nice day.
The scales theme and my last hypothetical situation with Mozart and Joplin give us themr to begin two new threads... 🙂
Going to sleep judt now. Have a nice day
Cheers
