This I can ID with. Living in a small Kansas town (where cowboy music
rules, gack (that's just my biased opinion) and there are more cattle
than people) except for one individual and the K-State Electronic Music
Studio (that has an ARP 2500), virtually my only connection to e-music,
modulars, ... is the web and the excellent AH and MOTM listserv's.
Fortunately, my wife is kind enough to listen to my babbling about my
'noise making' hobby and periodically takes part in making 'noise.'
Oh, Monday morning on the prairie (or close to it),
Jeff
