Yes Jacky!!

Brian, that's part of what I was trying to say. You
won't know what this is until you get there but it's a
special moment when this noticable brain shift happens
and it actually releases endorphins! It's way-cool!

Hm, maybe that's why some of us are into this crazy
stuff - we're addicted to it! Sniff! Sniff! What's that
new scale? Whew! Hoo boy!

This is also why many of us encourage those who do not
have any music to share to stop yakking about this and
that and get down to business! We are genuinely sad to
see so much potential talent squandered searching for
some holy perfect scale or grand universal tuning when
life contunually beckons offline. It's a lifetime's
worth of joyful exploration and discovery and the
sooner one unplugs the telephone from the wall' the
sooner one can start living!
