Oh, I thought you said BEACH club!

Like I said . . .

@Vulgano-Brother said in Music. What is It?:

"Sound in time."
Everything is in time, is it not?

I can find parts of any of those definitions to argue against. This is futile.

I used to be on a board funded by the Ford Foundation and supported by the Comprehensive Musicianship Project (CMP) and we panel members were creating a CMP curricula for schools. It was subsequently published in three volumes by Harper and Rowe.

One of the things essential in this project was defining music. We couldn't do it and it was a pretty talented group of people. There was no definition we could come up with was without exceptions. I think we might have come up with something just to satisfy the suits, but we weren't satisfied.

One can come up with what it means to you but that doesn't make it universal.

Sorry to stop a conversation when it's just getting started, but I'm not sure there is an answer. If anyone comes up with a definition more power to you . . . but I doubt it.

Once, in Scotland, I went from men's shop to men's shop looking for some suspenders. I was met only with quizzical and cautious looks. Finally, I was pointed to a women's lingerie shop, where I found out that suspenders in English meant garter belt in American! I guess they must've thought that I left my goat back at the hotel.

Not a pet peeve, but with language ambiguities - my son studied one year in England. As part of his orientation program, he was given a three-page paper of words/phrases that mean different things. For instance "Bonnet, in American equals hat. Bonnet in England means a car's hood. Etc.

Knock me up, sometime?

One of my biggest language pet peeves, although I think it's a lost cause, is the use of "there's".

Ex: " There's three cars in the parking lot."
No, there ARE three cars. Either there IS one car in the parking or THERE ARE three cars. Three is plural.
Singular subject = singular verb. Plural subject = plural verb. English 101.

I think you might reconsider how tasteful using that Steven Hawkins analogy is.

I don't understand what's so difficult with moving into a "nursing home", either. In my experience all you have to do is choose a facility within your budget and do it.

Not judging, just asking.

English is an inconsistent language, just ask a non-English speaker, trying the learn it. Getting frustrated over it is a waste of time.

Simple, thanks. I was using the one that says "pictures", three to the left of the correct icon.

Testing:

When I click on the Upload Picture icon, I get , but there is no URL.

When I click on the Picture Icon above this text in the reply window, it says  . But my photos are on the computer and have no URL.

When I go to "Type here to search" in the lower left of the window, nothing pops up. The resulting frame is blank.

Windows has a Snip & Sketch function but I can't find how using it is pertinent.

I go to the "Type here to search" window in the lower left corner of the page and nothing comes up. The resulting page is completely blank.

When I do a google search, it says basically the same thing. I am using the latest Windows which has a Snip & Sketch function but I don't see how to save the image shown.

How can I upload photos, not with a URL, but from my computer? Thanks.

I think these lists should be looked on as entertainment, not musicologically sound evaluations, and am a little surprised when they are taken seriously. Actually, I was introduced to two players I had not know but who are deserving of further investigation by me, Erik Truffaz and Arve Henriksen, both of whom wouldn't be on the list if Doc and others were listed.

Surveys like this have some value, i.e. I was introduced to two very nice players,

Thanks, Gary.
