"As I was walkin'
I saw a sign there
And that sign said no tress passin'
But on the other side
It didn't say nothin'!"

Just a little Independence Day note for anyone who might be interested
and perhaps hasn't heard it yet, my piece "At a Day Job" is made up of
various American patriotic tunes the most notable of which are
"America the Beautiful" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic." "At a Day
Job" also uses a 22-tone set that is built on two overtone series;
10 - 20, and 14 - 28:
