my Mom's cello teacher now comes to our music nights, partly because she wants to get better at improvising and playing by ear.

Hehehe. My sister's doesn't go to the local bluegrass jams because she doesn't know the songs and she's embarrassed to show up with sheet music.

Tell her she should go for it! She'd pick stuff up - they probably play many of the same songs week after week.

The local "bluegrass" jam here (they also play other music) is a blast - I go every Friday. I was completely lost at first as I'd never even played chords without music, but it has been one of the best learning experiences EVER. Most stuff is only three or four chords, so worst case scenario is that I play those or play the main note of the chord (i.e. D if it's a D chord).

I know...that's why I said she could (worst case) just play the base note.

My brother does fills and such when playing, but that's what he started out with.

Or like I did just a minute ago to stick up for the honor of our resident Man of Gondor.

Thanks for watching my back Corin. Although that wasn't why I showed you my posts, thanks.

I take back everything I said equating the Dwarves with the Ferengi, and my insinuations as to the Dwarven fancy for galoshes.

RWRF: I would recommend checking into The Neverending Story and saying "Hi." There's a bunch of great guys over there. We may have our occasional flare-up, especially when the subject of Mary comes up, but they don't last very long and then we're back to being friends.

It's kind of slow over there right now. I think we need some new participants. So whenever you feel up to it, come on over. As BigMack (the male portion of PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain) says, "We're over on the shallow end of the Lake of Fire." ;^)

My brother WAS a violinist, but we've corrupted him...now he's a fiddler. ;-)

She did have a fiddling part at one gig. When she got the sheet music for that part, she had a tizzy about having to fiddle on closed strings. Luckily they changed the key at rehearsal.

Uh oh! - Maybe you are just getting to the end of the story!

Hi Corin, Rosie, everyone... sorry I'm late!

Corin, I think Rosie has figured out the klez problem... if you've run both McAfee and Norton on your system and they're saying you don't have klez, then you probably don't have it. Having McAfee on your system should not prevent the Norton utility from running. But, just to check, have you downloaded the latest virus info update from the McAfee website? Also, you may want to download the Norton utility onto a clean disk at work and take it home (if it fits on a floppy). Then, copy protect it and use that disk to run on your system.

By the way, have you shut your system off, and turned it back on? If you have and it came up, then that's a good sign.

As for viewing email headers, most email programs have an option to let you view the "full header"... in Netscape email it's View -> Headers -> All. Not sure what it would be in other email programs, but the idea is similar. As for reading the email header, well, they're kind of arcane; and I'm not sure it would tell you the real source of the email anyway. Likely, the best you could get out of it would be the name of the ISP's email server, but if whoever has the virus has the same ISP as you do, then that won't tell you much unfortunately.

Anyway, glad that you apparently don't have klez!

Thanks for your responses and invitations. I may screw up my courage and check out some of those threads....

I have the intellectual curiosity to tackle some of those theological questions in the abstract, but not necessarily the stomach to battle determinedly for one position over another.

To me right now it is more important to learn to exhibit the fruits of the Spirit in my daily life, and know what that means and feels like in the nitty gritty of the daily grind. Winning an intellectual battle at the cost of losing my peace of mind would be a hollow victory indeed....

Interesting map (I think I've seen it around here before). Kinda scary, if you could superimpose the location of our most frequent posters here in The Hole, I think you'd find most of us within just a few hours (or less) drive from those locations...

Yes, everything seems to be functioning okay. It's just those repeated error messages in email. I think most of McAfee is up to date, but I did get a notice yesterday that there's an update to the firewall.

Wow! I'm impressed.... I will show that thread to my Wonderful One and see what she says.... Also, I have Word and Works, and if you're going to send me something, why don't you do it to my yahoo email address....

Thanks much!
