funny thing is ...I happen to have gone to school for Music Theory and Composition and I do know what that means. Unfortunately...classical music sticks to the half tone scales which just don't do justice to all of the other available tones. I don't recall doing any name calling...please refresh my memory. My supposed ignorance is based on the wealth of knowledge given to me by professors...who taught me so eloquently that I can think for myself and disregard everything that they wanted me to MEMORIZE. Knowledge is much more than what has been done a thousand times....and music in the underground is going beyond what has been done a thousand times. I did not say that classical knowledge was bad.... But i did say that I did not see the point in everyone learning it because I do not think that is necessary for music to progress. I admire BOC for doing something with classical knowledge.... I just don't think "classical" is the be all end all to understanding music. Matt --- brian albers <brianalbers@hotmail.com> wrote:
