Dear Mike and Vocalisters:
Mike quoted Don Miller:

Mike then commented:

Mike: What do you mean "made it?"
Mide continued his comment.
> given that music is an art and, that the
>science of sound is only part of the picture, i couldn't agree with you more.
COMMENT: Very clearly said.
Mike then quoted Don Miller again:
> you go on to say:

><< Awareness of many other important details that often escape our notice in

and Mike then commented:

>possible that someone could begin to imagine sound they hadn't heard before
>in an effort to reconsile unaccounted for visual info (i still find a

COMMENT: What does the above statement mean?
and Mike then commented further:
> on the other hand, if there could be an enriching of audio
>awareness by using visual data, i'd hate to be left out
COMMENT: Again very clearly stated.
Mike continued his comments
> how would you test this? who would be in the test group? (if dionne
>warwick were in the test group, could she keep her musical judgment undiluted
by her association with the psychic friends network?)
COMMENT: How would you test what? I cannot make sense out of your
questions because I do not understand what you are asking about. And
what has a pops singer and her interests got to do with this
discussion?
Mike again added:
> can you imagine a day when super titles showing spectographic readings
>of the singers performing are provided for those who don't wish to miss
>anything?
COMMENT: What does this mean? Why is it included in this discussion?
> unfortunately, until i have better computer equipment, i'm stuck with
>the old fashioned way.
COMMENT: So are many of us.
