"Oh, we send the chaff and the used punch cards over to the State Prison where the inmates recycle the cards by gluing the right numbers back in the little holes." what happened next was a good predictor of whether said freshman had a future in data processing. -mo David Farber wrote:

It springs from his most recent release, Songs of Joy and Peace, a series of collaborations with such well-known musicians as pianist Dave Brubeck, soprano Renee Fleming, bassist Edgar Meyer and mandolinist Chris Thile. Now, you can join Yo-Yo Ma online and produce your virtual collaboration with him. Download Ma playing "Dona Nobis Pacem" from www.indabamusic.com , add your music and mix. Then upload it back to the site, where you can hear all of the submissions. After the contest deadline - New Year's Eve - Ma will pick a winner. He says he's trying to use the Internet to turn a CD into an interactive experience.RSS Feed: <http://www.warpspeed.com/wordpress> ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
