too late ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Eberwein" <robert_eberwein@hotmail.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 11:28 AM Subject: good intentions Rest assured fellow listers, I am trying to let this go before anyone feels irritated or patronized. Let me re-cap; In reaction to the suggestion that *the world is not Black & White; rather, it is Grays, Blacks and Whites*: I pointed out that the world IS made up of Black and white; and gray is one of the results. To illustrate this I said something to the effect of, Gray, in itself, doesn't exist. Someone made the excellent [if slightly sarcastic] analogy- - - *Aha, so Water [hydrogen and oxygen] doesn't exist? Only hydrogen and oxygen*. Water would not exist were it not for either hydrogen or oxygen. Oxygen is not dependent on either one for it's existence. Nor is hydrogen. == Spin-off [intention]point: I have three old churches near me, and about once a month, they will ring their bells at the same time- quite by accident [a funeral, a wedding, an odd holiday]. When this cacophony goes off, it is unbelievably disturbing. All I heard, when I first moved here, was noise. But after a while, I began to hear the beginning of *Help Me Rhonda* [dead a la dent, da dent ta dent tah.]. At first it was faint. Now it is as if they are doing it on purpose. But, more important, I can't imagine NOT hearing it now. I used to point it our to friends and family, and they would cock an eyebrow or smile. But after months of being patronized- and being somewhat haunted by it- I have now forced a couple people to really listen- - - and it's always great fun to see them beam when they hear it [like those 3-D pictures of flower gardens- that turn into naked women]. They always compliment me on having heard it- and wonder how they could have missed it. Good for me. But did I compose this song? I think not. The notes were there, and you can hear *Help Me Rhonda* if you want- - - but *creation* would involve me choosing some of the timing or gongs. There would have had to have been SOME *intention*. This is Not a definition of what a *music* is- it's a definition of what *creating music* is. Like the Gray/Black/White thing; it would be easy to think that I am saying that *Help Me Rhonda* doesn't exist. No. But maybe it does mean *Funky Cold Medina* doesn't exist. Also, all this says nothing about a humpbacks intentions. Their songs undoubtedly exist. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
