How you doing Adam, got a question seen an article written by a Dr. Diamond years ago he talked about an “anapestic beat destroying the cerebrum of the brain”, making muscle weak in one of his studies.

Speaking of learning note-for-note what was originally improvised, the Guess Who originally improvised "American Woman" on the spot. They later decided that they wanted to record it, but they couldn't reproduce it in the studio. By an extreme bit of luck, someone in the audience had recorded the song on a very early portable casette recorder, and they were able to find it. In this case, their efforts at improvising the song again fell short, and they wound up learning what they had done before in order to be able to record it (although I am sure they made some further modifications to the song for the recording).

Question for your next Q&A: How do you think instruments should be classified into their respective groups? i.e. strings, wind, percussion and so on. The commonly accepted method is to classify the instrument based on the way they produce their sound i.e. saxophone is a woodwind because the sound come from the reed, piano is a string/percussion instrument because a hammer strikes the string. I believe that this works but is confusing for some instruments like how a pipe organ is a wind instrument because of the pipes, yet is played through a keyboard like a piano. I believe that instruments should be classified by how they are played rather than how they produce sound. Your thoughts on this?.

When Frank Zappa released "G Spot Tornado" 1986 I though it's obvious why he programmed it on a Synclavier: it's impossible for humans to play it. A few years later, he said in an interview "maybe it would be good for the improvement of the German society if people where forced to dance to G-Spot Tornado. I thought this joke was very funny. In 1992 he had the Ensemble Modern playing G-Spot Tornado live (no synthesizers or computers) and La La La Human Steps dancing to it. I will never say that something is impossible to play for humans.

I thought a lot of stuff on “hand played” piano rolls was physically impossible (well, some of it is, but I don’t mean the actual added parts or doubled parts), and then I heard first Tom Brier, then Frederick Hodges playing like this live, and figured they were doing something novel. Then I heard old audio recordings of piano roll legends Frank Banta, Pete Wendling and Ray Perkins absolutely slaying and I realized they really DID play like that and I shut the hell up and started practicing.
