True, but tell you a story...

Once a dear friend of mine said "I don't like Jazz.
I know that a lot of people do, especially musicians
and people who really KNOW about music... but I just
don't get it, like... I can't tap my foot to it..."

This is the listening public. They WANT to hear the
flute, the trumpet, the violin. They don't know what
they are, maybe... but they know that sound, identify
with it. Its 'comfort food' for the ears...

Roland, Yamaha, and 98% of the perfoeming world heard
their cries, and responded with appropriate products.

So you're a 2%'er (read, freak :^).  Deal with it
(and build something really freaky)

H^) harry   (who likes freaky stuff as well...)
