For heaven's sake, is that ever interesting!!! Gawd do I wish I had been old enough then to hear Dolby's stuff played in discos and clubs, but oh well. :^) Maybe Dolby's music was sort of considered "disco" because nobody had ever heard anything quite like it before, so it had to be forced into an existing category because of the tendency of the human mind to only be able to relate to what it already knows...? Hmmm, did that last sentence make sense? I'm a little distracted 'cause I've just got this new plastic thing that my keyboard rolls back into when I'm not using it, and the monitor sits on top, and it's got this wrist support, and I'm not used to it yet! Oooooo, was that a run-on sentence? Bad Kara!!! ;^) Boy, do I love having people to talk to about music!!!
