Would this be cool? A pair of wireless wrist-bands which detect hand/finger is being used to play each note, regardless of where on keyboard. LH = bass, RH = lead... or to pick a solo synth voice based on first finger used on a phrase? ...or for playing into transcription software to correctly distribute notes between staves?

Physics is a bitch.

And now for something completely different: What's long and sticky? A stick.

Wisdom of Robert A. Heinlein - Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do. - Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow if tomorrow might improve the odds. - Being intelligent is not a felony. But most societies evaluate it as at least a misdemeanor. - No intelligent man has any respect for an unjust law. - A touchstone to determine the actual worth of an "intellectual"- find out how he feels about astrology. - Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed. - The hardest part of gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche. - Progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things. - If you pray hard enough, water will run uphill. How hard? Why, hard enough to make water run uphill, of course! - Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys; its more sanitary. - The three-legged stool of understanding is held up by history, languages, and mathematics. Equipped with these three you can learn anything you want to learn. But if you lack any one of them you are just another ignorant peasant with dung on your boots. - To get anywhere, or even to live a long time, a man has to guess, and guess right, over and over again, without enough data for a logical answer. - To stay young requires unceasing cultivation of the ability to unlearn old falsehoods. - Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. - There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. - Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny. - Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child. - In a society in which it is a moral offense to be different from your neighbor your only escape is never to let them find out. - Yield to temptation; it may not pass your way again. - An elephant is a mouse built to government specifications. - The greatest productive force is human selfishness. - The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. - Obscurity is the refuge of incompetence. - Being right too soon is socially unacceptable. - Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. - Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. - If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people. - One man's theology is another man's belly laugh. - If you happen to be one of the fretful minority who can do creative work, never force an idea; you'll abort it if you do. Be patient and you'll give birth to it when the time is ripe. Learn to wait. - Never underestimate the power of human stupidity. - Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have legislated out of nothing, "blasphemy" is the most amazing, with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for second and third place. - Belief gets in the way of learning. - Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way. - No matter where or what, there are makers, takers, and fakers. - One man's "magic" is another man's engineering. - "Supernatural" is a null word. - It's amazing how much "mature wisdom" resembles being too tired. - Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

'bout 30 years ago I joined a band who had Long Time/Foreplay in their set list. I had a few weeks to learn the tune before going on the road... the band did a final tour with old keyboardist while I laboriously learned Foreplay on an upright piano listening to a cheap tape deck. First rehearsal with band we play Foreplay & I rip into Foreplay on my Crumar organ... It ROCKED until the band joined in. I guess the piano was flat or the tape deck was sharp, cuz I learned Foreplay in Bm. Anyways, to my eternal shame I never learned the song in the correct key... Every night I carefully transposed the KB a semi flat before Foreplay. Well, maybe I forgot once or twice (cringe). Yes, it was.

MWNAOL with a cough? Flemming MWNAOL who fell in a fire? Bernie MWNAOL and no torso? Dick MWNAOL hanging on a wall? Art Waterskiing MWNAOL? Skip ... I'm reliving grade 3.

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and 1 by 1 began to tell their stories. "Johnny, do you have a story to share?" "Yes ma'am. My daddy told a story about my Aunt Barbara. She was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then her parachute landed right in the middle of twenty enemy troops. She shot fifteen of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands." "Good Heavens" said the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from this horrible story?" "Stay the **** away from Aunt Barbara when she's drinking."

I ran across these tabs, and it reminded me of this historic thread... http://www.akulele.com/tab_nutcracker.jpg

Four nuns approach the pearly gates. St. Peter asks them to confess their sins before they may enter heaven. The first says "Forgive me, for I once saw a man's penis." St. Peter says "Put some of this holy water in your eyes and you may enter." The second says "Forgive me, for once I touched a mans' penis." St. Peter says "Wash your hands with this holy water and you may enter." The fourth nun pushes ahead of the third. St. Peter asks "Why did you do that?" She replies "I'd rather gargle with the holy water before she sits in it".
