Please think hard about this. See the film. Keep your guns. Smile at other people at the store, for Christ's sake. ---------------- Fini, this made me remember Bill HIcks and something he said at the end of one of his comedy routines. here 'tis "The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people. "We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace." -- Bill Hicks He died at age 34 of pancreatic cancer, I think.

I'm in for $25.00. (lost count but who cares) cheers, Forrest

Craig ---------------- No problem. This is the User's Manual, it didn't have any 'service' tips in it that I know of. It explains things like how to hook up the antennae, selecting outputs, etc. At any rate, I'll do the photo copy thing give it to you. Forrest

I've Googled 'til I'm blue in the face and keep coming up short. I did find the schematics on the HH Scott site, but would still like to find the owners manual. Thanks for any help. ---------------- Hey! I bought a beautiful Scott 355 / 208 combo back in November, and it came with a pristine owners manual (nary a wrinkle in it). I'd be happy to photocopy it for you. send your mailing address by PM and we'll go from there. Forrest

I've got one CD, the Classical Music of Thailand, and I don't get that music.

Fairly good day. Rachmaninoff was born on this day, and Scott Joplin died on this day. You'd be in good company whether you were coming or going. Happy Birthday, and I hope for your sake you don't see this 'till tomorrow. cheers, Forrest

The man on the left is holding one of the smallest pipes from the same rank; it's a bit bigger than a pencil! ---------------- Damn... I'm impressed! DrBill, I was also amazed when I got my dorian recording of the Bach organ works performed by Jean Guillou. When he says trust him on this organists abilities, he means it. The registrations used are sweet indeed. I'm going to order the Mussorgsky disc in just a few. Forrest

I'm taking the day off in honor of my first anniversary on the forum. (Well, ahem, I was actually taking the day off anyway... but am going to work on a LaScala refurb project.) ---------------- A couple of my favorites are: Virgil Fox: The Digital Fox, Vol 1. & 2. Bainbridge entertainment Co. notable for Bach: Tocatta and Fugue in D minor and the toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C major. 32' reed pipes should give any system a severe workout (~16 Hz!), and wonderfully played. Bad news... Don't know if this is still in print, though).. Romantic organ Music: Peter Hurford; Argo label, Decca Records This recording has the famous Widor: Toccata from Symphony No. 5 (so does the Fox disc, but this one is, to my taste, more skillfully done). Lot's of tone color, depth, etc. and a third (thanks Jt1scav) from dorian recordings http://www.dorian.com follow the links to Organ Works of J.S.Bach, Vol. 1., Jean Guillou, organist. very well done. Forrest I'll be George F. Handel will be giving recs too!

That's awfully close to my old stomping grounds, having been born and raised in Camden, SC. I attended a few magnificent concerts at Byrnes Auditorium and the incredible 4 manual Aeolian Skinner Organ in that space. I don't know if you've ever been in Byrnes Auditorium at Winthrop, but if you ever get a chance to hear a performance there, GO! the last time I was in Charlotte was 1979 for the good 'ole Grateful Dead. ah.. memories. We didn't get any snow to speak of in Kentucky this year. Bums me out. If it's going to be cold, at least it could be pretty for a few days. Beautiful pictures, Paul, thanks for posting them. ciao, Forrest

of a particularly satisfying dingo that had been its morning meal. The physical rejuvination had been nothing short of amazing. Rene, meanwhile, munched on the moonpie and pondered some of the more obscure architectural creations of Eero Saarinen's finnish father. Then the rogue thought of his brothers 1971 GTO's compression ration crossed his cluttered mind. What an odd segue, Rene though! What a car that had been! It was only after his submission to Sister Miss Ann Thrope while she was brandishing unusually sharp rosary beads in that same car that he could claim to know anything about the mysteries of religion. Sister Ann had loved the car as well, it seems, and she often driven it to Gatorland in search of her many nocturnal delights, until being caught one night by a very angry brother. The scandal was emmense. On that evening, Sister Ann and bose lady had been...
