Benefits of Experience

Here I am at Arts Journal's glorious new location. Hope I can figure out how to work this thing - it's WYSIWYG, and I had gotten pretty adept at HTML. His Beneficence Doug McLennan has great plans for these sites, including potential ads which will allow us bloggers to make a little income doing this. What a concept!

In any case, I note that Darcy James Argue has undertaken an extended analysis of my "irrational" rhythms from my post-before-last, and found that my way of notating them, besides being less limited, is also less counter-intuitive than he assumed. Well, I have been playing with these rhythms for over 23 years.
