All: that "if" may be about to become a "when." Aliens from Antares have heavily colonized LA and Nashville already, for purposes of music that gets radio airplay. Soon, the whole earth will be an Antarian suburb of intonational zombies - unless we arm ourselves to the teeth (and ears) and fight back for our musical lives!!!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to expose as many fellow musicians as possible to the wonders of the pitch continuum and rudimentary tuning theory. Go now, before it's too late!
