After thinking it over for awhile, I concluded that MIDI can be bent to 
cover virtually everything you can notate on a score, and I also 
concluded that scores are limited in what they can convey.  How do you 
notate for a didgeridoo or an Acme siren whistle?  How do you reproduce 
either of these expressive monophonic instruments meaningfully with MIDI?

This puts me in the mood to compose a piece for siren whistle and 
didgeridoo.

you tomorrow.  I'll show you how to paint yourself out of those corners 
you found yourself in.  I had hoped to get there sooner, but they are 
really putting the screws to me my last few days of work at this job. 
They are bitter and angry that I am exiting stage left and moving on. 
Two more loads, and then I am done with the fuel business.)
