Johnny Reinhard posted in 1606 (the digest, not the year) a tidbit about Partch uttering his support for Johnny's use of synthesizers nearly 40 years before the fact. Just wanted all of you to know that, in spite of the collegial nature of the list, and the pointed comments directed to me, Johnny didn't have the courtesy to write me first, off list, to discuss this. So I'll have to make a response here, as his point deserves an answer. Unfortunately I am doing 10-11 performances a week right now and it deserves more than a knee-jerk reply (well, besides this one!). I'll try and get it together and stay up late to make sure the record is clear. Oh, BTW: I don't strike things from the record when they are historical documents. Revisionist history gives me the creeps. Stay well, folks... Cheers, Jon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jonathan M.
