Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Although I think the cat in your second picture is actually a dog!

Hmmm. I guess that career at the SPCA is right out. Was that Kristin's puppy?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is that Vortex in the background of "how about this?"? That's a box set worth of nice set.

Oh yeah. You should've seen ND try to drown himself in there.

There was a whole line of us trying to drown ourselves in there. I believe I was right behind him.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Was that Kristin's puppy?

Yup, looks like it.

That's a box set worth of nice set.

Oh yeah, it was a sight to see!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Okay, Joe's XML'd Excel sheet is here: [link]

The Excel created XML looks better in IE than Firefox. Go figure. We can work on it.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Thanks, DX. I'm looking at it in Firefox and it looks a lot like it did when I made it. Oh, well, it's meant to be functional, not pretty. Excel formatting is not one of my strengths. And speaking of formatting, I standardized (roughly) the set up so that it's title/artist [line] description, which I thought was easiest way to set off the song from the description. (I could only figure out how to bold the whole cell, not parts of it.)

I found this paper about structure and harmony on Revolver. For a non-musician such as me it's a challenging read, but for an interested, Revolver-loving/very-familiar-with-the-material non-musician like me I think it's comprehensible. I'm probably wrong about a lot of the stuff I think I understood, but I'm sure I learned a lot anyway.

Jon! THANK YOU!

Kate's mix looks wondertastic.

Thanks for taking care of that, DX (and thank you Joe!).

You're welcome, erinaceous!

I'm looking at it in Firefox and it looks a lot like it did when I made it.

The main difference I see is that there's a vertical line running down the right edge of window, often right though the middle of the column on that edge. If you resize the window, it then stays put in the column, right in the middle of whatever column it's in. Also, it only happens when the browser window isn't full screen.

Art Crawl!!!

Damn, why am I never at shows where this sort of thing happens?
