Actually in my brief microtonalist mingling of the early 1990s, I actually
spoke with Ivor Darreg a few times. Pretty much the only person I could
deal with. Anyway. It was he who encouraged me a bit to get into 22 since
I was already doing equivalent things in 34.

Ivor actually said that if 19 really cliqued with you that 22 might take
some time and vice versa. Fred and I found him very accurate on that. It
took me a while to get into 22 and it took Fred about three years to really
get into 19 after the initial bizarre impact of it all.

Actually I never mentioned it but Fred has also been playing fretless since
about that time as well. Got his BC Rich bass frets replaced with a new
clean board no markings no nothing.
