It always amazes me to see so many excellent guitarists with bad right hand technique. He's going to give himself carpel tunnel keeping his pinky on the soundboard like that. He's also inhibiting the vibration of the soundboard.
It's an excellent performance.

Considering he's probably gotten away with playing that way for 30+ years, my guess is he'll be OK.
I though it was a pretty sweet performance.

Have you ever seen one of our military walking past you and wanted to convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or it felt awkward?
Recently, a gentleman from Seattle created a gesture which could be used and has started a massive movement to get the word out.
Please everybody take just a moment to watch.

Ha hahah. I know what you mean. Maybe mark it "marcato" and leave it up to the performer to decide the mechanics.
I like writing for voices, which must be easier than dealing with guitar and its whole interface of positions, restrictions as to voicings, and so on. My hat's off to you.

*pizzicato
Sometimes a note should be plucked by the left hand. Also rarely, the right thumb can stop a harmonic which is plucked at the same time by the right 3rd finger. This is borrowed from harp technique.

Wow, I didn't realize they couldn't wear their uniforms off base. That is truly a shame. Unfortunately, it wouldn't surprise me if that started happening here. When our daughter was a police officer she couldn't have her uniform on unless she was on duty, not even on the drive to work.

re: #65 Killgore Trout
I could listen to flamencos all day. Gypsies, too, except when they play Django note-for-note. One guy I really love these days is Gabriel Kirschenbaum, who plays on the two Sera Una Noche recordings for Todd Garfinkle's MA Recordings label. I haven't been able to find anything else of his, but his playing on those records is overwhelmingly good: so varied, so creative, so daring, so moving, that technique just disappears.

I remember my Dear Ole' Dad talking about how he was introduced to the wonder of the Performing Arts while stationed in Baltimore. When he had leave, he and his buddies would go to NYC. Servicemen were allowed in FREE for standing-room only or if they had extra seats.
Such policies made it possible for a back-woods KY boy to begin a life-long love affair with Opera, Symphony and Ballet. He and my Mother still get excited when they hear certain music --it also helped him court his wife-to-be.
After he had his stroke, we put a boom-box with Vivaldi and some other CD's in his hospital room. EVERYONE walking by commented on how wonderful the music was. Even the nurses (who had never heard such music) took time to change out the CD's.
I wonder what the MET's policy towards servicemen is today.

I used to consider joining our Royal Marine Commandos - Reserves, once I was out of uni. I'm now considering waiting till I emigrate to the US, as I eventually plan to do, and joining the US Marine Reserves instead. I'd like to actually make a difference if I take such a step, y'know?

re: #37 rawmuse
Writing Pizz, is too precious or detailed with orchestration articulation. Sometimes composers like showing off by being detailed and obvious in their articulations or bowings. A perfect example would be writing cuivre' (french) or Brassy in English, for a trombone. This seems obvious: a trombone is a brass instrument so why overstate it? I suppose overstating it ensures that the trombone player sounds jazz-big-band and classical. Same with pizz on a guitar. The guitar can be plucked, strummed, legato or connected between notes and using sing pizz ensures that the notes will be separated, non legato, but will ring more than with a staccato marking. I am not sure about this but I think pizz has more body than a staccato marking. Its just your composer’s deliberate attempt to get the exact sound he/she wants -- a controlling device.

Well, I believe the piano at the beginning is E (1), G# (3), A (4), B (5). Might not be the right but I'm pretty sure it's the right progression. The Tommy Emmanuel song has the same progression.
Oh! I thought you meant the beat, the rhythm of it. Sorry.

No. She has a pugnacious look but that may be just her jaw shape. Hard to tell as I am biased against her.
the very first time i ever knew of her was a yr ago (?) i think it was barbara walters interviewing the obamas. i read that michelle had been compared to jackie o. well, my mom loved jackie o, so i was intrigued by seeing michelle. it was just stunning to see, however, that she was nothing but a crude nasty non jackie o. person.
michelle's answer to a friendly question , ie. "how are you going to handle the stress of the campaign" was, "well, barrack could get shot walking down the street".
she was so hostile and bizarre.

And dont forget son,

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

A friend of mine went to see Amy Grant in concert in Tokyo a number of years ago. Amy sang songs with piano accompaniment, and then she had a segment where she played guitar. She got up on stage, wearing nice duds, and started to play. But then she suddenly stopped.
Apologizing to the crowd, she proceeded to chew her fingernails off of her left hand. "Sorry, but I can't play the guitar with these nails", she explained. After the nails were gone, she did the remainder of the show and it knocked my friend's socks off!

But you perhaps are not aware of the foundational rule of "chick crushes".
See, girls often crush on each other. There's nothing sexual about it, really. Sometimes it's sexual, but most times, it's not.
Just a gal diggin' another gal. And with us, it's often emotional. Not like with guys, where it's only functional.

re: #125 hermeneutics
I am not sure about this but I think pizz has more body than a staccato marking. Its just your composer’s deliberate attempt to get the exact sound he/she wants -- a controlling device.
There are two usual techniques one could employ with a classical guitar to sound a note: a "rest" stroke ("apoyando" in Classical guitar terminology), where the plucking finger comes to rest on the next lower string,;and a "free stroke" ("tirando") where it does not.
The former has a sharper attack and is akin to the pizzicato used on bass, for example. So I could see specifying it for certain passages.

Michelle Obama is the church-goer! This is why her speeches sound like Wright's, but Senator Obama's do not.
I'll bet that Barack Obama, who seems like a nice enough guy, truly had little idea (not "no idea", but very little idea) how flipped out that pastor is. This is just coming together for me, but it's clicking.
"I could no more distance myself from Pastor Wright than I could from my white Grandmother." Yeah, well, they're both firmly wedged under the bus now, I'll tell you where this campaign is going next--Will he put Mrs. Obama in the box? She's truly Hillary to his Bill.
There's a reason he has gone from obscure (but popular) Illinois state Senator to strong candidate for the Presidency in about two years--Placekicker Michelle Obama is on the verge of getting a Field Goal.

You must have seen Jimi before he gained confidence on stage. People think that the inspiration for Jimi's dreamy sounds came from drugs when in reality it came from his days doing jumps as a paratrooper.

Buddy and the Crickets were driving back to Texas and heard it on the Radio ("Maybe Baby"? I forget!) turned around and went to the record company. Course they had the record company by the shorts for releasing their music without their consent. Pres of Record company offers 'em a ton of money (for a bunch of 18, 19 year old boys) and Buddy said "we'll see - let's go to the studio" whereupon they did - and just like everyone else, a studio engineer started screwing with the music and Buddy stomped into said President's office and said, keep the money for that one, but WE get total control of our music -we write it, and play it the way we want and that's how you release it" = President of record company said "Hell, even Frank Sinatra doesn't have that much power but Buddy stuck to his guns and got what he wanted. He was the FIRST musical artist to have complete artistic control of his music - that meant more to Buddy than the money!

You're welcome.
The flamencos would call the above-mentioned"apoyando" technique "picado".
These things are bread and butter to classical or flamenco guitarists (of which I am effectively neither, but would like to be!).
The flamenco technique canon is also full of idiosyncratic techniques that aren't used in any other guitar style, like the famous rasgeados (including a continuous "drumroll" like one), complex tremolos, and percussive golpe tapping on the face of the guitar *while* simultaneously playing single notes or chords.
The rasgeado technique can involve each of the four fingers extending and hitting up to 4 or 5 separate strings, multiple times per second. Do the math, and these guys can literally articulate 50+ separate notes per second! Not 50 DIFFERENT notes (its all the notes of one chord many times each), but its still pretty impressive.

re: #363 Pro-Bush Canuck
That's amazing. It sounds highly technical, and I fear that at some point beauty gives way to technique. Virtuosic cello players can become "too technical" as I'm sure Kilgore Trout would opine...
The flamenco technique is elaborate, but it isn't "gratuitous"; it really is integral to the flamenco sound and style. You can't play the music without the technique, and you can't "fake" it either.
In general, I think guitar players have a tendency to concentrate on technique (regardless of genre).
But like anything else, you learn the technique, practice it until it becomes second nature, and then (if you are mature), you stop worrying about it and go on and use it to make music.

So, for the insomniacs among us, here's a good read today in Vanity Fair, "When Democrats Go Postal."
[Link: www.vanityfair.com...]
Here's some of its fun prose:
" ... it seemed like a clash of entitlements, the messianics versus the menopausals."
"Tom Watson, the author of a forthcoming book about political-social-charitable online networking called CauseWired, summarized the discord with a post titled “The Left Splits: Writers Flee DailyKos over Clinton-Bashing,” decrying the flaming shish kebabs being chucked across the banquet room. “This is not the Democratic Party many of us have worked for; this is not the progressive blogosphere we’ve supported. Without blaming the worthy candidacy of Senator Obama in any way, this is not a progressive movement—it’s a harsh, echo-filled politburo bathed in faux post-racial hosannas and the gauzy camera lens of ‘hope.’%u200A”

Holy Cow! I just had an uppity-piphany!
Michelle Obama is the church-goer! This is why her speeches sound like Wright's, but Senator Obama's do not.
I'll bet that Barack Obama, who seems like a nice enough guy, truly had little idea (not "no idea", but very little idea) how flipped out that pastor is. This is just coming together for me, but it's clicking.
"I could no more distance myself from Pastor Wright than I could from my white Grandmother." Yeah, well, they're both firmly wedged under the bus now, I'll tell you where this campaign is going next--Will he put Mrs. Obama in the box? She's truly Hillary to his Bill.
There's a reason he has gone from obscure (but popular) Illinois state Senator to strong candidate for the Presidency in about two years--Placekicker Michelle Obama is on the verge of getting a Field Goal.

re: #450 LeePro
LeePro, Good text.
Is it true that Michelle O attended Trinity since childhood and continued attending it as an adult? Wow.
As you said, most people pick churches on the basis of ideology/theology or some intuitive sense of "likemindedness." Including the Obamas. Since Obama moved into his wife's neighborhood, it makes sense that she'd have the contacts and established habits.
I'm not sure it follows that she wears the "church pants." Could be, though. I don't think Obama would go to that church if it didn't help his career. He strikes me as a climber and schemer, too clever to get sucked into the vortex of racism ... unless it either helped his career or he really believed it. My hunch is he believes Wright's invectives. Deeply. The reason why he couldn't ditch Wright is because it meant abandoning a way of thinking that had grown quite comfortable and had netted him political advantage.
Of course, he could be doing it just for her. Maybe.

On this day in History, May 1st 1945
German General Krebs visits Russian General Zhukov to attempt to negotiate the surrender of Berlin. He is informed that surrender must be unconditional.
Hamburg Radio announces that Hitler is dead. Admiral Dönitz is announced as the second Fuhrer of the Reich. He then makes a radio address which seems to listeners as very weak. He then orders the German troops to fight to the end while Himmler, who has no authority, is attempting to negotiate favourable surrender terms with the Allies. British troops advance on Lubeck and Hamburg, and US forces are dug in on the west bank of the Elbe.
The Fuhrerbunker, in Berlin, empties as Martin Borman leaves with others. Josef Goebbels and his wife die after killing their six children. First the children had to be poisoned, all six of them: Helga, 12; Hilda, 11; Helmut, nine; Holde, seven; Hedda, five; and Heide, three. Having given them lethal injections. Josef Goebbels and his wife Magda left the bunker and asked an SS orderly to shoot them in the back of the head.

Hitler was very much worried about dying like Mussolini. Hence why he wanted his body burned beyond recognition. He had no known children.
He did have an extended family, sister, half brother, nephews and such. Some of whom live today in long island. They changed their last name long ago.

I wonder if they use a net to weigh 'em?
The net weight of a gross of gin soaked raisins in the ME is very likely equal to the virgins they intend to meet being zero. Which is odd since any woman that weighs less than 7 stone is very boney or very short and not a dream to shoot for. Now here a gross of gin soaked raisins can catch one a crazy assed rich wife though:) Just ask John Kerry.

Actually, if you had a spot that never got sun, and cool nights... you can cool water by circulating it into a shallow tank that is exposed to the open sky at night & always shaded during the day.

re: #550 Kirly
The trick is to have the tank in contact with the ground. With both in shade the ground will stay closer to 65 and the heat loss at night to space should allow the water to approach ground temperature, even if the air is much hotter.
The other way is bury a coil of piping underground, roughly six feet deep & circulate water through it. Temp of the ground remains pretty constant during the day at about 56 degrees.

Ground source heating is possible as long as the ground source is above 0° C. Through the use of a heat exchanger the heat from the ground source water is amplified for use. It can also be reveresed to take heat out of an area and used to cool a building. I had a friend looking to go into business with an old friend of his here in Canada. Rather remarkable technology that is a little old school and a little new school.

This is a nice piece.
I'm quite partial to another Aussie's work... John Williams (the guitarist, not the composer). Here's a few links...
Williams teamed up with a few other musical geniuses to form Sky, a "fusion band" (for want of a better term). They scored a top ten hit in Australia with "Toccata", and became the first band ever to play inside Westminster Abbey.
Sky - Toccata (from 2nd album)
It took forever, but I managed to collect all their CDs :) Kids in school (Yeppoon, Queensland) used to think I was weird playing this stuff.

re: #572 Opilio
You must have seen the city transform. How interesting, Opillo. I was looking through a book of old photos of Phoenix -- then and now -- and it seemed like a completely different place. Other towns transform more slowly. Phoenix simply razed its older building and built again.
A couple years ago I lunched with a woman who told me that Bell was a dirt road and Shea was the end of civilization when she was a child (she looked about 60.)
Yes, it is expensive in some parts of Snottsdale. Housing prices are plummeting, however.

Lemme test this out on folks who might not have read my earlier post--
I think that Barack Obama is lying about his "shock, SHOCK" about Wright, but that just the same, he is fairly surprised at what Wright has been saying. I think that Wright may have introduced Obama to his faith, but that they really haven't had much contact since.
But Michelle Obama is who I think the conection is. Mrs. Obama goes to the church, drinks the anti-white, anti-American kool-aid, and keeps the kids associated with the church.
My guess is that Senator Obama's attendance is pretty sparse, but that Mrs. Obama rarely missers a sermon.
Now Senator Obama is still lying about how little he knows of the Reverend's views, but there's still a lot of room for him to be very, very surprised at the strident and blatant hatred which this guy has been putting out. But I think that he felt that his wife had a better handle on what was going on, and that perhaps she (as the real churchgoer in the family) is the one who largely manages their relationship with Wright.
She is Hillary to Obama's Bill. Senator Obama is being kicked through the uprights by his wife, and he's picking up some bruises.
It's just a hypothesis. Because I have no test mechanisms identified, it's not even a theory yet. ;-)

If you'd said raised, could just run some piping under the house.
The mist cooler link is a good idea, but you can't cool water by evaporating it, it turns to gas, drifts away...
However, the heat dissipation into night air might explain what actually happens, in the process and the mist would cool your skin during the day.

speaking of pools, ours has already hit 90*. we usually put the floating cover on in late winter/early spring when the Santa Anas make their 1st appearance for the year, Feb/Mar time frame, as the low humidity takes almost as much water as the mid-summer heat here in the SFV. first use depends on the rain season (if any) and air temps at night, which slow the heating process
usually peaks about body temp and holds there until late sepetember, depending on the weather each year. some years it's usable into November, depending on the air temp & your sensitivities.

I have the worst of all worlds...look at who my US Senators are..but there is one thing I am grateful to re Chucky Cheese..Medicare was giving me a very hard time re my new glucose meter.
It is one that has been D/C'd by the manufacturer, and I found a new one on line, and ordered it, as I am disabled and it is big enough to use myself, so no one has to test me. As I didn't realize that the company was not recognized byMedicare, it was awful. It was quite pricey, as it is so hard to get. Bottom line? We contacted his office, and within 10 days, we got a letter from his office telling us that we would get some reimbursement.
And we did. I thanked his office, as I never expected to get any help.

Joke I heard while in the army.
A rifleman, pilot, and a sailor met in the washroom in a bar to do their business. The pilot was first to wash his hands and soaped up to his elbows rinsed for a minute and used half a roll of paper towel to dry. He said, "In the air force they taught us to be clean." The sailor is next and uses a drop of soap, a couple of seconds of water, and a square inch of paper towel. He says, "In the navy they taught us to be frugal." The rifleman finishes his business and walks out the door. In passing he says, "In the army they taught us not to p*ss on our hands."

Well it just sucks when everybody at the base (all those GS employees with guaranteed jobs) keeps trying to undercut and nickel and dime us, when they throw away multimilllion dollar contracts on renovating ships in the mothball fleet, only to lay them up again (USNS Humphreys is one example). We're Exempted Service employees, meaning we don't have a guaranteed job (although it is hard to fire us). They have to keep our salaries up, if only to compete with commercial and union ship jobs (I could get a $20,000 a month job for 4 months if I went out of the union hall with MEBA).
Not to mention that these ship budgets keep getting cut, then the base ends up with more money, so they "renovate" the office. One of the 3rd A/E's here (like me) said that he went to the base once to get some paperwork, and he accidently overheard one young woman telling her coworker there that "this job wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the CIVMARs" (All of us Civilian Mariners are the CIVMARs).

An American bloke decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando , thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North.
On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'.
The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.
The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.
The American thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.
He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.
She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.
'O.K., thank you,' said the American bloke.
He then traveled all across the USA, England, mainland Europe, Japan, and New Zealand. In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same '$US10,000 per call' sign under it.
The American bloke finally decided to travel to Australia to see if Australians had the same phone.
He arrived in Sydney, Australia and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '40 cents per call.'
The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 'Father, I've traveled all over the world and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call.
Why is it so cheap here?'
The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Australia now, son - it's a local call'.

That's so beautiful...
It must have been written by a Muslim. After all,
they love beauty, talent, and the commitment to reason it takes to build a fine instrument, learn music theory, practice its implementation and artistic interpretation to be able to play a song like this.
Yeah, right. Just read the Koran, shut up and abdicate you own life- allah is all.
Phsmwmsphmsphm. Silly mystics.
