Jehn and Rick,... Woohoo! Rick! -Talk about dangling the carrot! I would absolutely LOVE to hear this material! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! *looks extra cute* OK, enough of beg mode, sounds totally incredible. I also sing, and enjoy combining different musical and vocal styles together to see what comes out. I'm also a big fan of getting lots of people involved in a performance. Do you ever work with vocal polyrhythms? <smile> I should probably know better, lol! I'm assuming you do. -just curious... Anyway, Have a fantastic weekend, talk with ya soon! -And Jehn, wonderful post, nice to have you on the list! I was planning to reply to yours after I got through today's messages, but this one ended up covering both. anyway, I'd love to hear some of your material as well. your ideas sound intriguing, both in terms of music, and therapy, which I feel, touch on eachother. Anyway, have a wonderful weekend! Smiles, Goddess At 05:34 AM 6/15/01 -0700, you wrote: >Hi Jehn, > Welcome to the list.
