||||||||| Catherwood re-enters the Waiting Room and explains "This is the main discussion room which is logged each night."
||||||||| Catherwood announces, "The time is 4:33 AM - I now declare Thursday's chat log for July 03, 2003 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Merlyn sneaks in around 7:42 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last week's "unpleasant incident."
Merlyn: Just coming in early to say I might be pretty late tonight, if I come in at all.
Merlyn: I'll be seeing what's going on at Convergence in a little while, and I don't know when I'll return.
||||||||| Merlyn runs out the back door as Mayor P'nisnose blasts through the front door holding a shotgun and shouting "Where's Merlyn?! It's 7:43 PM and my ballot boxes haven't been stuffed yet!"
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and Bambi disembarks at 8:58 PM.
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and snorts derisively "Presenting 'MoonGoon', just granted probation at 8:59 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
Bambi: hi MoonGoon
MoonGoon: "In the attics... of my life... "
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, July 03, 2003 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
Bambi: ah, yes ...
MoonGoon: Allo Bambi... my birthday was last week (46) and I prevailed upon my dear wife to get me the big Boxed set of Warner dead releases...
Bambi: Happy Birthday!
Bambi: celebrated my 48th this year (feb)
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and Mudhead disembarks at 9:02 PM.
MoonGoon: I probably have every one on vinyl up in the attic, but never play them (too much shucking & jiving with cords and such)...
Mudhead: dAMM CHOPPER SCREWED UP MY HAIR AGAIN

||||||||| Catherwood escorts EricTheFish in through the front door at 9:08 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.

EricTheFish: (otherwise known as EricTravis from Austin)
cease: billville, billville, you move to billville because it's your fate
Bambi: hi eric

EricTheFish: What's all this bruhaha about FST not getting to air on the 4th on NPR?

MoonGoon: This annoying habit that NPR seems to have developed... of pulling out the Nasi Goring impersonation... is getting pretty old.
EricTheFish: No sign of the 4th episode on the web site yet.
MoonGoon: makes me wonder how long the guys will be able to hang in there...
Bambi: I have an article about FST and some links including the Mark Time award which of course meant I could add a link to your Neal Amid

Bambi: won the bid on ebay LOL
EricTheFish: I've got the wire recording.
cease: you can hear j edgar's heavy breathing on it
Bambi: LOL
EricTheFish: It beHooves us all to watch what we say.
MoonGoon: Probably trying to wedge into that waspie corset
cease: ossman has a particular hatred of that man, from something that happened to his family
Mudhead: new definition of wired
MoonGoon: Hoov the Poov made many enemies... he had to make a list to keep them all straight.
EricTheFish: Wonder if Poindexter & Ashcroft are monitoring the logs...
cease: i think it was an uncle of his that was blacklisted, harrassed by fbi, forget exactly who
MoonGoon: the guminnit sees all.
cease: he mentions that in some interview somewhere. there are so many of them
EricTheFish: Democracy Now (WebActive) had an entire hour recently (June 25th) comparing Orwell and the current Residents.

EricTheFish: Yet, if you drink enough you'll go into sugar shock.
ah,clem: too much rain
Bambi: LOL
cease: much better than Heavy bugs though
MoonGoon: Those old bugs were made of only the finest steel...
Bambi: I would imagine so :)
EricTheFish: Flying robots the size of matchboxes. What this country needs.
Mudhead: those arent bugs there microphones
ah,clem: bugs are heavy too, you should weigh some of these mosquitoes.
MoonGoon: Pre or post-suck?
ah,clem: post
EricTheFish: Don't worry about the mosquitoes, we won't weigh 'em.

MoonGoon: NJ being the chemical capital of the northeast corridor, I'm shocked if DEET don't come from there...

MoonGoon: DEETs don't fail me now...
ah,clem: great, Cat.
Bambi: good one mg :)
cease: excellent, mg
EricTheFish: I take the critters are so big up there that the air traffic controllers have to monitor them?

Bambi: well, let's put it this way...
MoonGoon: Of course I can hardly talk when Eastman Kodak is pumping out the methylene chloride on a daily basis... Now THAT's a smell.

Bambi: I look forward to hearing some of the other individual productions as well
Ovid Dossman: reefer fill one for me
cease: have you thought about interviewing him for your radio show, ah?
Dave: can someone give me a summary of the HTF CD before I go spending what little money I have on it?
MoonGoon: Absentia... wasn't that one of Caesar's wives?
Ovid Dossman: Tales of the old detective tops 'em all
EricTheFish: Buy American. Buy Firesign.
Bambi: HTF is the only individual production I've heard ... and of course I thought originally it was just another FST ... since they were all in it :)
Bambi: shows how wrong someone can be LOL
Ovid Dossman: Nix on 4th NPR reject
Dexter Fong is fullfilled
Elayne: Dave: Astronaut returns from mission to find no one cares. Or do they?
Bambi: have been reading everything on the web about FST and doing some major catch up
EricTheFish: From the island of Bermuda. We present...
Elayne: Bambi, sounds like me about 15-20 years ago. Played major catch-up.
EricTheFish: To Grid's wrath with NPR.
MoonGoon: So it was the Nix who nixed it... I thought it had the trappings of a plumber's job...
Ovid Dossman: Major Ketchup Col Mustard
ah,clem: I can air las week's special on SkyBird adio, at a late night time of your choice, if you want to record or stay up, Dav, and HTF as the feature piece.

Bambi: I am so glad we found out they were still creating new material and have never stopped! I feel like I missed out on so much ...
EricTheFish: Buzz Aldrin? Hmmm? The first rasta on the moon? Everything we know...
Elayne: Cat, they probably didn't think it was funny, just like Thanksgiving.
MoonGoon: Apparently Mayor P'nisnose got a little too close to the truth...
Dexter Fong: Dave: HTF is IMO the *most* personal of all the side efforts of the FST...not that that's bad...just rather different than all the other material, again, IMO
Bambi: thankfully there are some great resources on the web to help :)
cease: not for more political reasons, el?
Elayne: NPR is not exactly a liberal bastion any more.
Ovid Dossman: which is incromprehensle , like thumbs down
Dave: I'd gladly take that offer AH but I'm on dialup
cease: compared to what, el?
Ovid Dossman: maybe it wasn't funny? Nawwwww
Elayne: Cat, compared to all those pirate stations the FCC is shutting down. :)

Dexter Fong: OD: It was funny...wasn't sure if it was misspelling mo intended =))

Dexter Fong: or
Elayne: Moon, I get the feeling they don't get it. Or they do and it scares them. Don't want to lose their jobs, after all.
Bambi: 22.5/16khz ... we are on dialup and we can listen and chat in the IRC easily
Ovid Dossman: the Zoot suiters got them the job in the 1st place
ah,clem: tks, Bambi.
cease: yes, elayne. it scares them. that's always been the case with firesign radio, in my opinion.
Dexter Fong: E: They are scared shitless of the Whitehouse, the republicans, the right-wing crazoids and everything else...who can blame them
Bambi: and it doesn't keep buffering ... which is one of the worst features of anything higher for us poor dialup folks LOL
Ovid Dossman: could be punishment for not delivering Memorial Day?

Dexter Fong: BOOOOOM!
Bambi: hmmmm, what does that little red button on the back of this cannon do?
EricTheFish: Yen
Bambi: oops!
Dexter Fong: "...and there he goes, he sailing out over the stadium, beyond the spot of Barry Bonds last homerun"

||||||||| Catherwood escorts Dave in through the front door at 12:34 AM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Dexter Fong: Hey Dave, you're back...turn around
Dave: well, sounds like it's over, wow that was cool
EricTheFish: Texas Playboys, Asleep at the Wheel, Broken Spokane
Dexter Fong: Loved Wolfman Jack in that

Dexter Fong: Yeah...but he didn't give them truffles, now did he?
Dave: nothing yet Bamby
Bambi: there it is
EricTheFish: Please, Anjin san. Draw your pistols. You will be dead before you pull the trigger.
Bambi: music going again
Dave: we've got, "the dog and the bone"
Bambi: dog and a bone
Bambi: yep
Dexter Fong: I'll draw my pistols if you can draw this matchbook picture
EricTheFish: Enough Shogun.
Dexter Fong: SHogun or Major Cledit cald
Dave: any chance we could skip this one? need something I can sing/dance to, or do you not control things
Dave: oh wait this works, you guys should play some Nick Drake or David Gray, two of my heroes in case you didn't know that already
Dexter Fong: Dave: Ah,clem is in control...he own the idea of streams
Bambi: we insert stuff into the normal automation
EricTheFish: Harrison & Clapton - Let It Rain
Dexter Fong: Bambi: So you guys are into inserts eh?
Bambi: ah,clem build the software that runs the automation and the DJ controls
||||||||| It's 12:40 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| ah,clem - dead from pneumonia
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Dave: this song sounds like Jan August meets smooth jazz mixed with Elton John a bit
EricTheFish: Awaiting on You All
Dexter Fong: "This is noone's here, we're all just machines, everyone's on un-employemnt, Now Radio"
Dexter Fong: Dave: Jan August??????????
EricTheFish: Henry Ford paid his workers twice the going rate. He was smart. He wanted his employees to be able to buy what they were making.
Dave: Bamby doesthis thing run 24/7? it'd give me great listening enjoyment
Bambi: yeah, ah,clem set it and it chooses things we haven't heard for a while
Bambi: that's what it does
Bambi: yes 24/7
Dave: now this song I can play, I improvise stuff like this all the time
Bambi: friday nights more diverse programming and OTR and FST shows on weekend
Dexter Fong: Eric: Then he moved them all into a town where they had to go to church every week, couldn't get a drink or buy a good 5cent cigar
Dave: sounds exactly like my fiddle playing, far out
Bambi: (JimmyLee's - ah,clem - a few minutes with FST show being the newest show)
EricTheFish: People put footprints in the snow with blood from frostbitten feet so we could do this. Have a great 4th. Vote.
Bambi: friday nights 9-12 it's often on c-band satellite too
Dave: jan august, great piano player of the late '40's, oddly enough I've got some stuff he did on Spike Jones' show
Bambi: you too eric
Bambi: there's a WIDE range of music variety and all old
Dave: where the hell do you get this stuff, this is soo cool
Bambi: Gary and some others have been collecting them for years
Bambi: (Gary is Gary Bourgois, the station manager and host of Friday Night Live - FNL - 9-12pm on fridays
Dave: this song's got my foot tapping, I'm telling you that you should play some Nick Drake or how about Coltrane or Miles or Ben Harper, just a few of the people I like
Bambi: he has a ton of 78s
Dave: wow! sounds like my kinda guy
Bambi: let me look for something and add to the playlist ... hold
Dexter Fong: Dave: Yes..I know of him...I don't know that I'd call him a great bandleader though, just my opinion
Dave: who dex
Dexter Fong: Jan August....there were a great many piano players of that ilk (or style) in the 30s and forties
Bambi: how about Straight Street?
Dave: I know but he's the only I've heard of like that, who just plays like that,
Dave: the only one I've got somewhere I can think of, although I forgot about Art Tatom
Dexter Fong: Sweet bands they were called by musicians as opposed to "hot bands" like Goodman and basie and the Dorsey Brothers
Bambi: Sax - Tenor Medley
Bambi: coming up in a song or so
Dexter Fong: The Three saxes...great tenor medly
Dave: allright! bossanova shtuff
Bambi: sonny rollins and john coltrane
Dave: bring out the Spanish dancers, here we go!
Dexter Fong: and Hank Mobley
Bambi: what about Blue Nile?
Dexter Fong: "..wider than a mile"
Dave: wait, the one playing now?
Dexter Fong: "..I'll travel you in style, a while"
Bambi: no, it will play in about 2 minutes after the song ... it is inserted into the mix ... about a 2 min lag
Dexter Fong: "Mybarge siketh, my asp winketh"
Dexter Fong: a"..and Tony that schmuk all he does is just smile"
Dave: music is pretty much my lie really, I've yet to find a copy of Coltrane's Expression album, I get CD's from the library and burn them, yeah it's unethical but it's not illeagle if I don't sell them, just got the complete bitches brew and in a silent way sessions from Mr. Miles Davis
Dave: I'm an unusual teenager, I know
Dave: life, not li or whatever I wrote
Dexter Fong: Not unusually unusal though dave
Dave: is this it?
Dexter Fong sings "Is that all there is, my friends"
Dave: thanks Bamby, this is cool, I can tell this is Coltrane
Dexter Fong: Not many of us left are there?
Bambi: nice sax medley playing :)
Bambi: yes
Dave: early Coltrane too, before he really hit us with his "sheets of sound" stuff in Giant Steps
Bambi: excellent music
Dexter Fong: Bambi: I hope you not hanging in here waiting for my Shepperd story> As befitting JS, it's a long story with lots of scene setting
Dave: I research pretty much everything I buy in music, I know about the albums before I buy them
Bambi: but gonna leave it to surprising us with music now :)
||||||||| Merlyn enters at 12:58 AM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and runs off to the Haberdashery Barn.
Bambi: LOL
Dave: yeah I have no life, fiddle player, music listener, high school student,
Merlyn: Hey, people are still here
Bambi: hi merlyn
Dexter Fong: Dave: I'm very impressed with you approach to listening to music. Context is, as it is with most thing, very important
Merlyn: hello
Dexter Fong: Hey Merl
Dave: hey there Brian
Bambi: was hoping you'd get back before we had to leave :)
Merlyn: just got back from listening to rehearsals with ossman and preston
Dexter Fong: Yep..well bye-bye =))
Dave: yes it is, but listening and trying to analyse jazz music is utterly impossible, it's so complex
||||||||| It's 1:00 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| EricTheFish - dead from measles
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Bambi: cool
Dexter Fong: eric got the measlies
Bambi: night eric
Dexter Fong: Dave: Its not so complex if you understand the fundamentals
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 1 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Merlyn: and michael sheard, who played hitler in indiana jones
Merlyn: and a bunch of dr who episodes
Dave: but I don't understand the fundamentals, I was listening to Bitches Brew and trying to figure out any sort of key signature or relavency thereof and found none
Bambi: sounds like it was interesting :)
Dexter Fong: Dr. World Health Organization, cleaning up after the US Army
Merlyn: nice thing about the chat is, if you know you'll be late or something, you can log in early and just talk to leave a msg
Bambi: yes, it was nice to see your message when I came in
Dave: hey Bambi, can you tell me what album this Coltrane cut comes off of? just wondering so I can find out more about it
Dexter Fong: Dave: You picked a very complex time to drop in on miles. You need to listen to early miles, when he played with Charlie Parker....most Jazz musicians go through develpmental periods..if you don't know where they came from, it's hard to under stand where they're at
Bambi: just said rollins and coltrane I think
Dave: true, I do have the Birth of the Cool CD as well from the library, will that help?
Dave: ok, that'll help Bambi, thanks again for inserting that
Dexter Fong: Bambi: If it's Sonny and Trane together, there's just one cut from one album they ever were recorded on....
Bambi: you are welcome dave
Bambi: yes it was dex
Dexter Fong: A blues from a Rollins album on Prestige
Bambi: do you know the name of the album dex?
Dexter Fong: Tenor Madness is the title IIRC
Bambi: thanks...that'll probably help dave :)
Bambi: Tenor Madness ...yes that was there !
Dave: hmmmm...I could get that from the Complete Prestige Recordings of Sunny, I saw that in the library listings
Bambi: that was the name of the album LOL
Dave: Bambi, this sounds like Fats Domino, am I right? probably not
Bambi: rockin' pretty good right now with some cool old music
Dexter Fong: Dave: Birth of the Cool is a *very* important album but representatvie of Miles only in the sense that it shows just what a restless innovator he was. He formed that group and opened at Birdland about 2 weeks after he quit the Parker band
Bambi: let me check
Dave: yeah I read that somewhere, I'll listen to it, you've obviously got a good sense of music dex, I admire you for that
Dexter Fong blushes
Dave: what do you think of In A Silent Way? the album from '69, I could talk about music for hours
Dexter Fong: Dave: I've been listening to jazz since oh....about 1945
Bambi: Tito Puente
Bambi: or Bennie Smith
Dave: don't know that one, thanks though
Bambi: Tito Puente - Sweet Georgia Brown
Bambi: or Bennie Smith - I'm Tore
Dexter Fong: Dave: Silent Way is also very late period Miles....Obviously there's nothing wrong with listening to it and if you enjoy it, great...But it does make more sense if you followed Miles through the years and watched/understnad his development
Bambi: now we have a little Bach
Bambi: Bennie Smith - I'm Tore Up
Dexter Fong: A little Batch 'ill do yah
Dave: I don't have the money to do that, I had to take what I could get, I do have Kind of Blue and Seven Steps to Heaven and Some Day My Prince Will Come
Bambi: well, gonna have to head on out now ... been great chatting with you dave, dex and merlyn :)
Bambi: see you next time :)
Merlyn: bye bambi
Dave: I've requested the complete recordings (boxedsets) of both the quintettes as well, as well as coltrane's Atlantic works, I have yet to get the Impulse recordings boxed set, I also requested the live in Japan from coltrane
Bambi: night
Dexter Fong: Dave: Good middle period Miles, all of them, though Kinda Blue is one of those albums that Miles made from time to time that really re-defined Jazz...a groundbreaking album that he himself rarely played the music from on live gigis
Dave: later Babmbi, thanks
Dexter Fong: Gnght Bambi; Hey wait a sec
Bambi :) welcome
Bambi: later
Bambi: night dex
Dexter Fong: If I give you my email addy
Bambi: wait?
Dexter Fong: Ill be glad to relate my JS story through that medium
Bambi: sounds good
Dexter Fong: you can reach me at myrnash@erols.com
Dexter Fong: Email me, and ill relate the story..it's not bad if I do say so myself
Bambi: ok, great ... talk at ya later :)
Dave: I could fire a million more jazz questions at you Dex but you probably don't want to hear them, I just get really interested when someone knows there stuff
Bambi: cool !
Dexter Fong: Night =)
||||||||| Bambi leaves to catch the 1:18 AM train to Hellmouth.
Dexter Fong: Dave: I'll stay on for awhile if you'd like
Dave: thanks, I was gonna ask you what you thought of Coltrane's Expression album, his last one, is it worth money? what liettle I get and usually blow on CD's anyway
Dave: I listened to a few samples on amazon and liked what I heard
Dexter Fong: Dave: To tell you the truth, I'm not overly fond of late Coltrane. I believe his intentions were honest. I beleive thath*he* believed in what he was doing. Thing is, I find that almost all of that style of music -changres, no time...no time, but changes...no changes and no time...basically just emotional expression which I've never found to be all that convincing
Dexter Fong: But the only important thing is what you like, what works for you
Dexter Fong: Also, you need to keep in mind that any recording only represents the artists(s) as they were at that moment.
Dexter Fong: Like Miles
Dave: hmmm...but don't you think that it's cool for someone to convey emotional expression through music? granted it's instrumental so words can't express it as well, but...
Dexter Fong: Miles had that great quintet in the middle late fifties.
Dave: true true
Dave: like listening to Van Morrison's stuff, he went through a lot of spiritual stuff too
Dexter Fong: Dave: Yes it's always about emotion, however...the emotion may be palpable in person but often just doesn't come across in person]
Dexter Fong: Sorry: Just doesn't come across on recording
Dexter Fong: Any way: About Miles
Dave: I see what you're saying, maybe I'll listen to some of that stuff and see what I think of it, hey, you only know if you try, but I will keep that in mind as I listen
Dexter Fong: He disbanded for a period of time the 50s quintet, went to france where he recorded a sound trakc for a movie ca;lled "Elevator to the Gallows" and it is *soooo* far removed from the quintet material, very free-jazz style music, then returned and picked up with the quintet again
Dave: I just don't know where to go with Miles next, once I get those quintette sessions, I've also found a vinyl copy of one of the philmore concerts from '70, not sure which one as I can't read the print on the album cover, I think it's the one in April because a saprano sax is on it, the march 7 date I think just had a tennor
Dave: I try and think I know what I'm doing with my facts so I could be wrong
Dexter Fong: Dave: I understand the difficulties....
Dexter Fong: I think that when you listen to the Quintet albums, I assume it's the quintet with Trane from the mid fifties...not Wayne Shorter form the mid sixties
Dexter Fong: That that will shed a lot of light on both Miles playing and Trane's playing
Dave: I don't have it yet but I'm getting a box set of the first quintette, then I'm also getting a box set of the second quintette
Dexter Fong: The first quintet is at least to me relatively easy listening, the second quintet requires a lot more work
Dexter Fong: It's worthwhile work though
Dave: I guess I'm not understanding something because I don't know the context of it all but what makes Kind of Blue so "groundbreaking?" maybe I'll understand it more when I've heard the other recordings done by the first quintette
Dexter Fong: Miles wanted Wayne Shorter in his band probably from about 1961 or 1962 on...but he was in the Jazz Messengers group and had a good gig and didn't want to leave
Dave: yeah so he got...I can't remember the guys name, Hank Molbly, that's who
Dave: not a bad sax player, does well on 7 steps and Some Day
Dexter Fong: Kinda Blue featured songs that were "modal" rather than based on chord changes. While the technique was not unknown, nobody had really featured it before like Miles
Dave: but, ok, this is a stupid question but I'm just getting into jazz, what is the definition of modal?
Dave: I can tell there are chord changes in early jazz
Dexter Fong: Dave: In between Trane and Wayne, he used hank Mobley, Sonny Rollins, Sam Rivers, and really, the primary predeccesor to Wayne was George Coleman.
Dave: yeah Dex you're talking to a serious newby in jazz here, it's like training a really eager puppy
Dexter Fong: Modal can best be defined by using the example of scales
Dexter Fong: The C scale defines the "major" mode. The "C" scale started on an A natural will define the minor mode.
Dexter Fong: With me s far
Dexter Fong: so far
Dexter Fong: question
Dave: that makes sense, I noticed scalular progressions sometimes, if I really paid attention to the musical structure of the piece
Dave: bwait, a natural? I thought a natural was a note that wasn't a sharp or flat
Dexter Fong: Good. Now, if you start the "C" scale on say, "G" or B natural...each of those scales will define a different mode
Dexter Fong: Dave: You begin with a c scale, no flats or sharps and transfer it to another key, you do not sharp or flat anything
Dexter Fong: That's where the defining part comes in...you'll get a different mode as you progress through the white keys
Dave: oh I get it, so if you start on say a G natural, you just play up to the next G natural with out putting in the F sharp as you would in a major scale?
Dexter Fong: Yes you got it
Dave: YAY! I feel happy, but with a trumpet or a sax, how am I supposed to know what key they're playing in, I can't even tell on the piano solos from Kind of Blue
Dexter Fong: So in Kinda Blue, say the song "So What", it's built out of just 2 scales
Dexter Fong: Hey Dave...thought you had perfect pitch (smilie)....seriously...sit down at the piano or your guitar and play along with till you find their key
Dave: good idea, I honestly haven't done that yet
Dave: does that mean that I don't have perfect pitch though if I can't recognize the notes right off?
Dave: I'd hate to be living a lie
Dexter Fong: Well...
Dexter Fong: Perfect pitch usually means that one can hear a note and name it
Dave: but I can recognize a fiddle tune's key signature, so...why can't I recognize this stuff?
Dave: that I can do, if you give me a note on a piano, I can name it
Dexter Fong: hmmm interesting question Dave (another smilie)
Dexter Fong: Im not sure how to answer that question Dave. Certainly you have to be able to ding the tonic to be able to define the key a given somg or perhaps a section of melody is in
Dexter Fong: jeeze: sorry to sing the tonic
Dave: but wait, in all modal music, is it all based around the C principle you explained, I had heard of Coltrane placing the monor chord over the augmented or somethimg like that,
Dave: but that's probably getting in to more "free" jazz I suppose
Dexter Fong: Well not really Dave. Just as playing a c scale but starting it on A gives you the minor mode, the same spacing between notes started on any other key such as F or Dflat will also give you the minor mode
Dave: so you can start a scale on a Dflat and then play the black keys? or do you play the Dflat minor scale, something of which I've never done
Dexter Fong: What I told you about the C scale and starting it on various notes is only an example of what each mode is defined by
Dave: again, I'm ver y very eager to learn
Dave: very
Dexter Fong: Sorry Dave
Dexter Fong: My ISP seems to switch addresses and I got dropped
Dave: wait a minute, Dflat is just a D natural note, I wasn't hiniking of my scales when I wrote that bit about the black keys
Dexter Fong: Okay..lets start over here (smile)
Dexter Fong: Do you know how to build a major scale at the keyboard
Dave: you couldn't just play a C sharp or something though and try and go to the next C sharp though, could you? I don't know how you'd do that
Dexter Fong: Dave: I think you've drifted off course here
Dave: a C major scale, yes, as well as some other ones, I don't remember the whole and half step sequence though
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 2 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Dave: or don't remember from my piano days
Dexter Fong: Okay..but that is in fact, how it all works
Dave: I drift off course a lot
Merlyn: time for me to go.... you've got a couple of hours before the log gets closed for cleaning...
Merlyn: bye
Dexter Fong: The sequence is this: Starting on c natural: a whole (d natural), a whole step(e natural) a half step(f natural); a whole step (G natural), a whole step (A natural), a whole step (Bnatural) , a half step (back to C Natural
||||||||| "2:03 AM? I'm late!" exclaims Merlyn, who then runs out through the french doors and down through the garden.
Dexter Fong: Night Merly
Dave: ok I'll be going soon, it's late, but I've got one more question quickly
Dave: yes, all the white keys on the keyboard
Dexter Fong: So if you play all the white notes but begin on A natural, you get the minor mode.
Dexter Fong: If you play all the white notes but begin on B natural, you get another mode
Dexter Fong: As long as you use the same spacing as the white note delineate, you can start on any key and get the same mode
Dave: but, say if Bill Evans wanted to play in an A minor mode, would he just start on A and not sharp or flat anything, ok I know that we've gone round in a circle now I guess, I just want to make sure I've got this straight
Dave: I hope I haven't frustrated you with all of my pointlessness
Dexter Fong: Well.......Bill Evans or for that matter any good musician would not neccessarily feel bound by the scale. If he/she heard something in their minds ear that they thought was interesting, sure, they'd depart from the basic framswork
Dexter Fong: framework
Dexter Fong: And its not pointless, Dave... usually we dont have this kinda time and space to talk this deeply about stuff but I'm happy to talk with you
Dave: hmmm...I'll listen and play around, but I really should be going before I get yelled at for being up to late, thanks for all of your help and advice, it was very interesting
Dexter Fong: A pleasure Dave...always nice to talk to you
Dave: I'm a pretty deep person when it comes down to it, do you have Aol Instant messenger, I could give you my screen name
Dexter Fong: No Dave I dont, sorry..I did have ICQ but frankly, I'm not online all that much
Dexter Fong: I game a couple times a week and chat once a week and that's it
Dave: oh, well it's all good, again, thanks a lot, I'll be going now, see you next week, keep 'em flying!
Dexter Fong: Night Dave and keep on listening
Dave: bye, thanks
||||||||| Dave says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Dave exits at 2:11 AM.
||||||||| It's 2:20 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Dexter Fong - dead from the fiddlers
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:32 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
