Lowell, Mass? Isn't that where Jack Kerouac is from? I mean, it's famous for more than it's drum factory, isn't it? Domino Dave r1se@sdsumus.bitnet

About the 'bone parts being written in C instead of Bb: Is is possible it is done that way for notation purposes, so that in an orchestral score it is easier to tell which line is the sax and which is the 'bone? (I'm ignorant of wind instr. so it's just a thought). King Sunny & high life: Great Stuff! Alot of Talking Heads stuff has high-life type guitar parts in it, even in their early, punk (sort of) stuff. Johnny Marr (of The The and The Smiths) plays some high-life parts on the TH album "Naked". He is interviewed in Guitar Player about it , and other things. (A simple example of high-life guitar is a simple repeated guitar figure on the lower part of the scale, with a percussive rhythm figure higher up. Easy enough, but hard to actually do well.) Also, Paul Simon's album "Graceland" is full of African and high-life guitar, as well as having Ladysmith Black Mambasa on it. (You know, that was the album that won 2 grammies, in different years...) more later.............................. HD
