Ivor Darreg quote

I like this quote from Darreg's interview with Brian McLaren
(Xenharmonikon 14):

Darreg: "As I said before, there are no bad scales. This astonished
even me. I thought, on being confronted with scales like 13 and 11
and 23, that I would have mental blocks or would have to skip over
them with an apologetic short piece and hurry on to the next tuning
before the listeners get too annoyed. And yet they all work!
Absolutely amazed me."
