Okay. The moment you've all been waiting for:

Yes. It's official. Following are a collection of .sig files from
various Usenet groups. I haven't recorded which came from where, but
you can search 'em yourself if you'd like to see more. I like
particularly the last one, in Dutch except for our favorite phrase at
the end.

As for the playing, I'm tempted to write that words fail me.
Thelonius Monk went so far as to say that writing about music is
like dancing about architecture. He was wrong of course. It's
just like writing about dancing or architecture. So I'd better
find some words to do justice to the way Maire and Chris play.


oor Windows3.x is er ook een free of share-ware pakket te krijgen,
waarmee je je Windows kunt 'russificeren'. Het pakket heet CyrWin. Bij
mij werkte het niet erg goed (liep vaak vast), maar het schijnt wel
populair te zijn (geweest).

Informatie (ook in 't Engels) over fonts, software, etc. kun je vast
en zeker vinden op de Relcom-website (www.relcom.su of
www.relcom.ru?).

Succes ermee,

The first time I heard that infamous quote was on 91.5 durring
the show "Fresh Air". The host was interviewing some famous critic of
"good" music (ie: classical and broadway musicals). She credited him as
being the first to make that quote and he seemed to think that he had
been the one to first say it.
But then again, who knows ? Maybe it's just one of those sayings
that have been arround for decades (if not centuries) and no one person
has copyright or patten on saying it (like: "Have a nice day.") How do we
know that that philanderer, Mozart, didn't say the same thing (or
something similar) when the stuck up people arround hime wrote bad things
about him and his revolutionary music (revolutionary for his times) ?
This much I will say: going up to Proffessor Goertzki and
informing him that you agree with that quote IS NOT a good way to begin a
class titled Intro to World Musics (Music 46). To make matters worse, the
course was mostly an essay type course.

Well, that's enough from me on this matter.

I saw a performance art group once that danced about architecture.

They were pretty cool.
