What is the probability that 3 or four Aarons, which is a somewhat uncommon
name, should appear on a small, devoted tuning list?

What a weird thing!

Best,

Aaron (the Krister Johnson one)
and not
Aaron Hunt
or
Aaron Brick
or
is there another (I thought there was)?

P.S. From now on, I will sign with my full name!!!!!

Actually, it is not at all an unusual name. While it is not anything
like "John" it is certainly far from obscure. In high school I once
had a class of a little over 30 in which I was one of four Aarons.

I haven't posted too much as I'm still mostly studying on my own.
I'm almost done with On The Sensations of Tone (about a third
through the Ellis Appendix XX) and somehow I managed to read
this much having only had the book less than two months and in
the middle of all that I read all of the Just Intonation Primer and
half of Easley Blackwood's book.

Geez, somehow I gotta kick this tuning habit at least until I
actually finish this last semester and get my performance
degree. I haven't practiced now really in two weeks!
