- My apologies to Mike Metlay for bruising his extremely delicate sensibilities.
- He may remember that the original posting was soliciting people to describe
- how they compose, which is what I was doing, and I don't think I needed to be
- flamed for my effort.
- You'd darned well better believe I'd be just as happy having live people
- play my music. Unfortunately this doesn't always happen soon or often enough.
- On the other hand, these machines we like to play with can do a lot of things
- that live musicians can never do, and make a lot of sounds that no other instru
- ment can produce. I can't imagine being without them.
