Ha ha! You crazy nut! You're keeping me up at night!

And Joe won't answer my inqueries regarding bagels
and harpsichords...

Anybody want to fight be over whether or not Jacky
kicks the asses of all you sorry fools? :-)

OK, then anybody want to fight over whether 13tET isn't
the very very best and most consonant of all the octave
divisions? Ha ha ! Fooled ya! (though it is)

Cecil is one of my favorite piano players, and I think he would feel
at home with many different tuning systems, as his playing seems to me
to be based on "body wisdom", the same sort of intuition Dan Stearns
mentioned a few posts back. You did a great job capturing some of the
characteristics of Taylor's style. 13tet suits it.
