red brass bells make no difference that you could hear if you weren't looking!

Re: Live on the edge.
When I am approached by street-level operatives of political campaigns, and asked to talk about their candidate...
I tell them I'm Canadian and can't vote either way.
Just seems more polite than what I'm really thinking, such as "I didn't even want [your candidate] to be a senator. There's no way I want [your candidate] to be the president!"

When Jehovah's Witnesses come to my house to proselytize (a frequent occurrence in my neck of the woods) I make them a deal - I tell them I'll patiently listen to whatever they have to say, if they salute my American flag first....

Re: Live on the edge.
The Googlebot gods have done this for us. The ad I am seeing as I type this:
"Seriously Rare Photos"
"Not Suitable for All Eyes"
The picture in the ad is the picture of Demi Moore when she was too young to be modeling these photos, and I am sure if I click on the link, I will see photos of Brooke Shields from Blue Lagoon, among other pictures of young actresses, models, and other ladies. As formerly both a prosecutor and public defender handling cases that went over the edge in this regard, I find the ad quite disturbing.

Re: Live on the edge.
Three Alexanders in the same section that always play in tune- two 163CC tubas (one of which belonged to the late great Dave Bragunier) and a very old BBb.
There are enough TubeNet members who don't believe this is possible, to make this a "controversial" posting.
Even though it's true.

Other than the Ivory Tower colleagues and close family members of said professors, I don't imagine that too many people would fail to make a distinction between the two.bloke wrote:...sort of like people who imagine that college-professor-composed "serious" music is the legitimate descendant of "classical" (an adjective which refers to classics) music
Why is more "classical" music being composed, anyway? There are puh-lenty of legitimate and worthy classical works already that go unplayed and unheard.

Did mine get deleted?
Which edge is this?
Seems like a bad idea if you can't tell...

I'd much rather listen to John Williams than John Cage. Those people who are writing noise and calling it music...it won't be around for very long. What will be around is the music that still sounds like music. Let's champion Ewazen and the like. There is some really, really neat synthesized "woo woo" music out there too, that I love to listen to.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
