This is the thing that gets me about such religioids: even granting the premise that there's a God, the notion that they have absolute and certain knowledge of his will is so incredibly presumptuous. I mean, who died and made them secretary of state of heaven? - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:59:51 -0800 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Dobson struggling (NR) On Nov 7, 2008, at 12:32 PM, Steve Schiavo wrote: > "I want to admit that I am in the midst of a grieving process at this time.

Also: if the F is the "completely different" note: nope. Alan W. Pollack, in his Beatles Notes, states that he hears a superimposition of D minor, F major, and G major, with only the B missing: clearly, that combination includes an F. (Note that the only note added by the "G" chord is the G itself, if the B is missing, since the D is already present from the D minor chord. The F major adds only the C; not sure why he didn't simply say Dm7 with an added G. I haven't played enough recently to try to voice the chord as played on the record...but the notion that it's actually an electric 12-string and a piano is certainly in character w/a lot of what the Beatles were doing at the time... - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2008 08:26:48 -0500 From: "Jeremy Osner" Subject: Who's gone and been a greedy boy? Yesterday I was listening to "Jewels for Sophia" for the first time since the beginning of last month, when I spent a lot of time listening to it repeatedly and had some fegly conversations about it here... I must say that familiarizing myself with it that way really helped -- yesterday everything about it was familiar and nice. (Also I was driving around the city, which seemed like the perfect activity for listening to this record.) As Lauren pointed out last month, "Nasa Clapping" is just fantastic -- and so much better, when you can listen to the opening lines and know where it is going. Anyway this is by way of linking to a "Nasa Clapping" fan video I found on YouTube today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKgT5PPIdHE -- user Hesternic has choreographed clips from Stargate Atlantis to the song in a most worthwhile way.
