RE: [microsound] philosop

[Gunnar Garness <ggarness@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Go Michael!  This list is especially nice when you get to see the humorous
side of an artist you might have imagined was a always very serious
individual from interviews or recordings (not that taking recordings
seriously is a bad in any way).  I like the fact that we can have these
discussions on this list because I sure can't have them in the rather small
place I live.
