I've made and served the coffee..let the cat out and back in and fed him.

Uncle Michael:
@Doug, I only know "Come Out" thanks to Google. Plagued me for years. The kid that ran sound for the 1975 production of "Our Town" set up his quad system in the corners of the room where we performed the play in the round. One day after rehearsal...he played the quad version of "Come Out," where the time shifting is swirling around four corners and not two channels. It got completely lodged in my head from one listen and it was decades before I could figure out what the hell it was. | |

You caught me, still b/p. I usually save the African sequence for later in the show. Gotta keep you people honest! Van, last time I saw that trumpet live was at Wolf Trap in about 1979. @PGH 99 I can just hop in the Mon and float my way down! |

Actually, Hugo, I have a bit of discomfort giving much love to Jay Miller. No doubt he recorded and released a ton of vital music, but his unabashed production of unrepentant and viciously racist music in his studio gives me pause.

@ndbob The paucity of violent crime in ND has virtually nothing to do with the plethora of firearms, I reckon. |

kat330:
Hey, all! Wasn't going to jump in today, but was prompted here: @ndbob: I'd be very surprised if statistics show that domestic violence involving guns is lower wherever guns are more plentiful. Especially in the north where "cabin fever" is a factor. Probably those keeping the statistics in ND don't bother to classify domestic disputes/deaths as true "violence," which is another problem altogether. | |

Fri. 12/14/12 11:42am

@Doug nope - no causal connection - just saying that having lots of available firearms doesn't necessarily lead to lots of violent crime | |

@kat330 Always happy to see you! @ndbob I think smart, sensible gun control can be legislated in a manner such that it won't keep guns from the ownership of reasonable, responsible people. But the insane, irrational people won't permit even a whisper of discussion. |
