[78-L] A bit o' grit

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

A photog's loop doesn't cost that much and would probably suffice for 
many applications. Also other things around the house. I think last time 
I bought one it was about $15 at a camera shop. You might even find one 
with a built in light. They can be made small enough nowadays.

On the subject of bad editing, I have a CD somewhere of the Tchaikovsky 
Piano Concerto ,not an unfamiliar work at all, that has an EXTRA measure 
where an extra repetition was inserted. And done well too, you can't 
even tell that the music was inserted. With time audio editing has not 
always improved. And there's that Horowitz CD in which a huge piece of 
the music was omitted and the audio made a very obvious jump. They don't 
proof listen to these things it seems.
