Thanks for the Great Laugh, Ed!

This is a fun email list! There are some qualities here I have not seen elsewhere, and I have
been
on (and kicked off) a number of lists.

ideas, but the
narrowest tolerance of error. That balance is required to be good musicians, I suppose.

Thank you, everyone, for your thought-provoking replies to my musements...
