Dear net.music readers - I landed on this planet only a few years ago, and while I have come to understand many of your species' customs and habits, I must admit to being totally baffled by your fascination with 'music'. Some of your kind seem to regard it very seriously and sit quietly in large halls while listening to it. Others jump around, make noise and in general, carry on in a manner quite uncharacteristic of their normal behavior. Could you possibly explain to me just what it is that you find so interesting about those collections of sounds you call 'music'? Please don't forget that I am new to your planet and may not understand many of the assumptions that you take for granted. If you would take a moment to express yourself carefully, I would be most greatful. Best Wishes, Gnorx ...decvax!decwrl!alpha-centauri!gnorx
