It seems like most of you ARE reading javascript, but not the rest of the page. Very interesting. Well,I'll make changes when I get back from Frucon so it's compatible with other browsers. Until then, here are the first 3 questions on the Being Dave Matheson page. Enjoy!: 1. Many people encounter someone that causes a pivotal change in his or her life. Is there a particular person that set you on the musical path, and if so, how did they do it? I was about 10 years old when my family was in Zurich as part of a little European trip. At the end of the corridor on our floor was a window that looked out on a courtyard. Down in the courtyard was a band - bass , drums and perc. I had never seen or heard anything like it. Ten year olds don't get exposed to too much live music for the most part. I think it was the first time I'd seen a "combo" ever. Anyway, that's when I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. I loved it so much, I still remember the feeling. 2- What was the most difficult instrument for you to master? I am enjoying the challenge of playing the violin. Its quite different -physically - than anything else I play. It is probably the toughest thing I've tried to get musical with. Next to that persnickety theremin of course. That is really hard to play 3- Who are your main musical influences? I'm influenced all over the place. Here's a list of musicians that I consistently love. Stevie Wonder, Keith Jarret, Bill Evans, Ornette Coleman, Pat Metheny , Miles, Gordon Lightfoot, Cat Stevens Bob Dylan, Joni Mithchell, the Beatles (duh), and lately, Gillian Welch, Willie Nelson, Gram Parsons, Emmylou, Frank Sinatra, Ron Sexsmith, . There are 2 types of music: bad and good (Duke Ellington said that.) I like anything that falls into the latter category. I forgot Chick Corea and Greg Brown, and loads of others too, but that gives you an idea of what I'm into.

Feel free to debunk it thoroughly. Well, I'll be the first to start debunking. But as I see it, there are two problems with this idea. The first being a more technical issue - from my understanding, the reason afmf was abandoned was that there was a problem with the way it was set up in the hierachy (or something technical along those lines, I never quite figured out all this NG stuff). But the long and short of it is that afmf is not accessible to many newsreaders - including the ever popular Deja (or at least I couldn't find it in my recent search). If not everyone can access it, then it becomes pointless to try and use it. Secondly, I see a problem of logistics - conversations here ebb and flow like any normal day-to-day conversation. They wander OT and back again. It's true that some conversations are blatently OT to begin with - but they get hashed out and die down. But some conversations start out about MF and then turn into something else entirely. Do we really want to be policing ourselves - "No, that's OT, please leave the room." At which point does something become OT? And who decides what is OT in the first place? Is it only on-topic if it relates directly to the band? What about when things are only vaguely related? I fear that if we start dividing our conversations, we risk losing our sense of community here. Sorry, I'm rambling and I'll stop now and let someone else ramble back. :) Sara, hoping this didn't sound defensive, I'm just throwing ideas out there. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 14:02:16 GMT From: vika@attglobal.net (Vika Zafrin) Subject: Re: Thought on OT threads Spake : >I was just thinking that perhaps we could move OT discussions to the >alt.fan.moxy-fruvous. This has already been proposed, but it was then pointed out that the group name is actually alt.fan.moxy.fruvous, and that's bad Usenet hierarchy. Therefore, many servers don't carry it at all, and many (though myself not included) wish it'd just die. >I guess that this could also cause some division between people but it would >make it easier to catch up on the newsgroup if you are gone for a few days >and have to wade through a few hundred messages.

They’re wanting to get that one thing that symbolizes it for them,” said Nat Gertler of Pasadena, who runs an Internet site that sells “Peanuts” books, videos and music.

So, Bryn Mawr is only open to students, and Friday and Saturday of that weekend for me are choir concerts and rehearsals. Anyone want to help me send telepathic messages for some Baltimore/DC shows the following week? *sigh*, when are Fruvous going to learn to coordinate their tours with my schedule? :) Ah, well, hope everyone at Frucon is having fun!

OK, all Fruheads who (like me) are stuck at home this weekend rather than being at Frucon: anyone interested in starting a thread about why we're not there, or what we're doing instead? I remember doing this on the Nields-Nook during FRFF this past summer, and it was just nice to know that there were others in the same boat. And it's always fun to whine on AMMF. Not that I do that sort of thing, of course:) I'm mainly stuck at home, or at school, rather, cos I'm saving my money for my school choir tour of Ireland in April, which should really be a lot of fun. And even tho I don't get to see Fruvous, I'm spending tomorrow at 2 classical concerts (1 by the Baltimore Symphony, and 1 by the music dept chair here at school) which should be good anyway. Anyone else?

"unsupervised" C. canada? we think not. 2.)

Probably the main reason is that even fruvous can't persuade me to drive countless hours to be someplace *colder* than NJ in the middle of Ferbruary ;-) Of course, after today's snowstorm, the thought did cross my mind that I'm spending my whole day basically inside anyway, and inside in NJ differs little from inside in Toronto (except nothing's metric ;-) Plus, I am also contemplating a late-spring European adventure. I've narrowed it down to Ireland, Spain, or Prague... ;-) So what am I doing instead? Well, tonight, due to the snow, I scrapped the plans and made it a blockbuster night (South Park movie-- good time ;-). Tomorrow, I'll probably just hang with a friend or two, catch a movie. Get an estimate on my car.
