Re: SOUNDSCAPES & SCRABBLE

There is a history to this Scrabble thing.  I should fill the loopers in 
on 
it.  My last live performance at the GRAPEFRUIT MOON (a cool little fried 
green tomatos style cafe in Toronto's "annex" area) was on a quiet sunday 
night.  Thanks to email I had an excellent turn out.
About three minutes into the first soundscape some grumpy fellow in the 
back, who was playing Scrabble with 3 other fellows began yelling "change 
the CD!"  When he was informed that this strange music was being generated 
by someone live he actually went up to the owner and demanded that she 
make 
me stop.  She didn't of course.  The weirdest thing about it was this jerk 
was my next door neighbour, who up until that point had always been 
somewhat 
friendly.  Now when I see him, he just scowls at me.
