2) Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" on the other channel.
What is going on?
Of course,this leads us to the Cage-ian topic of "Silence":
-BG> I hope to move to a more commercial location for the studio soon though,
-BG> it has been nice and quite most of the time..
Where are you,Canada?? I am in New Hampshire...(didn't see your origin)...
-BG> Biggest problem here is the idiots with the car alarms that don't
-BG> complex when going to work at 5AM!!
I have had fewer problems with security when I wasn't worried about being 
secure...(I think...)
