So can we all actually DO this? Like, when "Jian posts the ng" morphs into something on tractor pulls, change the header and put a big fat OT in front of it? As a fan and perpetrator of OT threads, I just prefer them them clearly labelled as such. "prom dresses" worked just fine for me, even without the OT. "tshirts" was another story -- it started on topic and then veered wildly, spawning all sorts of little demon topics along the way. And if an OT thread swings back to Früvous, relabel that too! btw, I still think the FAQ should be posted periodically, at least the ammf-specific parts of it, or the URL. And if AJ's and Richard's suggestions on minimising the mad dash to greet newbies can be implemented, then they're right; there is no need for a formalised "system". Oooooh! Hey, does anyone out there object if I just make the FAQ URL part of my default sig? That would work just fine, methinks. :) - -- Lori, certified control freak :) ******************************* Visit Lori's strange and wonderful world! http://members.aol.com/srm9988n/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 May 1999 13:50:01 -0600 From: katrin@dimensional.com (Katrin) Subject: Re: Please cut it out? :) - a suggestion In article <373854AC.ADDC010E@wwnet.com>, cicero@wwnet.com says... > Now don't get me wrong, I think it is great that newbies are welcomed so warmly > andimmediately plugged into information on the band etc., but do we really need > to make this an organized official thing?

Copies may not be legally sold. There are copyright issues at stake, and most members of this newsgroup view any transgression of these rights as very bad form. Tape trading is okay with the band in the case of the indie tape, concert dubs, or other material which is not readily available commercially. Tape trading includes requesting blank tapes in exchange, as well as postage, in lieu of other performances traded, but no additional fees may be legally charged.

Chris is the keeper of Fruvous Dot Com and many things cool come from or through him. Actually, if we got a alt.fan.fruheads wouldn't that be a newsgroup for fans of Fruheads?

Um Sheri, what I think you =MEANT= to say was that you were willing to trade copies for other material, or that you would be willing to trade copies for blank tapes. You didn't really mean to say that you were going to sell copies of copyrighted material, because that way lies flaming and complete ostracism around here.

But... how do I explain this simply? The trombone slide has seven positions, all determines by how far you move the slide out from "closed" (ie you can't bring it on any further) The tricky part of playing the trombone is that there's no real way to tell if you've got the position right. You kind of guess and listen, which means to play it you have to be pretty darn attentive until you get the hang of it. Also, positions are a little different from 'bone to 'bone, depending on tuning and such. While moving the slide changes the note, it's not the only thing that determines the note. You do most of the work with your lips. This is the whole reason that a trumpet, with only three keys and therefore limited combinations can produce ocatave after octave (if you're good...) So your slide could be all the way out in 6th position, but you might be playing a really high note, or you might be in first playing a low note. You can even play the same note in two different positions - you can play an F in 1st or 6th. I have a friend who refuses to play "conventional" positions and will only play alternate slide positions, Drives me crazy when we play together. Well, that was probably longer than it should have been, but you touched on something near and dear to my heart! :) :) Veronica (trombonist for over 9 years now) - -- *************************************************************************** "Never look at the trombones, | Veronica Gruneberg it only encourages them." | Dept. of Biology - Richard Strauss | Queen's University | Kingston, Ontario | ICQ#: 38114574 ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #404 ********************************************
