Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Can anyone explain to me the MORE COWBELL phenomenon?

Simple - people got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

More cowbell!

I tried the link to the cowbell skit and got a 404. But I figure anything that combines Christopher Walken and a cowbell's going to be funny and weird. Feirdy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I tried the link to the cowbell skit and got a 404.

That's strange -- it works for me.

But if you google "more cowbell" (with quotes), it's the first hit.

I'm sorry--I meant the link on the cowbell page to the sound file gave me a 404. The initial link worked fine.

BTW, I often get asked to see ID. Especially in California when I'm visiting family and friends.
