   You're fortunate to have that capability!

   I've never heard natural sounding clicks before.   
      
   > They don't like playing in time.   
      
   You could always just use the clicks yourself and let everyone play in time   
   with you.   
      
   > And they don't like playing WITH other players.   
      
   They're CRAZY!!!   
   I LOVE playing with other musicians - I'm a Band person!

   They've got an excuse there, BUT, if you insist that they follow you, or   
   whomever is playing in time, then they have no excuse.

   Maybe the other players need personalized situations for them too ;)

   Not when they're atheistic Dumbed-Down Zombies, who don't even Think!   
   And 'paradigm shift' is merely euphemism for DECLINE!   
   That's why I wrote "Paradigm Return", meaning that it's time to STOP going   
   in the WRONG direction, turn around 180 degrees, and go BACK in the RIGHT   
   direction!   
      
   Old drummers, or any old school musician that isn't about to change and   
   is proud of it .....  well, they'll die off someday. And then the kids   
   who aren't wedded to those same old ways of doing things will take   
   their place.   
      
   And then Everything will die off...unless you somehow believe that ZOMBIE   
   ROBOTS are about living!   
      
   > Talk to youn musicians now. See if you can find one that hates computers.   
   > Ha.   
      
   I've never bothered to ask them and they never talk about computers.   
      
   > huh.  what can I say.   
      
   You already said it, that you can make clicks that sound more natural.   
      
   > We're not replacing musicians.  We're adding better instruments.   
      
   How can a computer be a Musical instrument?   
   Part of one, but not by itself.   
      
   > Yep. You're a purist.  Good luck with that.   
      
   I'll have better 'luck' with it than being an IMpurist!

   You can count on that ;)

   I'm always looking for *good* new sounds myself, which is why I'm using   
   effect pedals, and speaking of which, my Soulmate and myself played an open   
   mic night with the 'house band' again and everyone liked how the effects   
   sounded....and a band my Soulmate discovered, that he'll be playing drums   
   in, and also needs a keyboard player, had one of their members there at the   
   open mic, and he liked what he heard so now I'll probably be joining them,   
   which will make it a 6 piece band, and rehearsing with them this   
   Sunday...but I don't want to spread myself too thin - I'm kind of wiggly so   
   that might take some doing ;) and the guy from the band I met wants to hear   
   our Originals, but still I'm staying focused on developing The Difference.
