Greg Gibson's latest

Hi Gang-

I have been doing some experiments prompted by Greg's recent
posts about 19tet. I now am certain of this fact -- 19tet sounds like
out of tune 12. Try this experiment. Record a pop tune in 19tet, and play
it for the man on the street. If he can tell you anything at all about
the tuning, it will be that it just sounds out of tune. And the funny
thing is, he is right! If the man on the street wanted music in other
temperaments than 12, don't you think he would have asked for it by now?
