Loop devoid car horns -was- Re: 4'33"



  This whole car horn bit reminds me of one Saturday running around in NYC.
 There were so many car horns at one point, that the idea came to me
suddenly that it reminded me of an orchestra warming up.   So I then
thought, how interesting it would be to assemble some very well tuned car
horns and perform some classical repertoire.  -I believe someone has in
fact done this, but I haven't heard it yet.   -would love to though...   

Smiles,

Cara
