    John Cage : As Slow As Possible

    I find this a little bizarre, but fun to discuss: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slow_As_Possible In a nutshell. The performance of this song started in 2001, an will end in 2640. It began with a 2 year "rest". Think of the download time on that mp3 :D I'd like to hear your thoughts.

    Not sure if this has been already addressed, but I read something odd in a recent Epiphone TB ad. Pg. 33 March 08 BP Magazine. The ad has a short list of specs (scale, design, warranty etc) and also reads: "TB Plus Bass Humbuckers since 1873" huh?

    "The Carrot Switch"...(how to guide)
