I wonder how long itd take to play a billion notes, and if anyone would have the stamina.

That would be extra special since there are only 12 notes.
Even if you consider the different octaves those notes can be in, I seriously doubt there are a billion.

With harmonics, and distortions, there are indeed over that many notes...+1 to Fig.

Can you name all the stars in the Universe? Yet they are there and each one is unique upon itself.

My playing is all about the mass, baby. That's why I play Bongos.

As a matter of fact, I can. I've named them all "Winthrop Alabaster Picklewick." None of them objected, so I guess they are all cool with it.

I must now agree...Bongos have bottom. They would make Jennifer Lopez blush!!

Okay, I can see your point there...

No, I can't. But send me $29.95 and I'll name one after you!
I'll just go out and find me a fence post instead of trying to make a point here. I'll have more success.

In western music, there is a 12 note convention. In eastern... well, that's a whole different ball game.
The audio frequency spectrum is bounded but inifinite. Pick a frequency, I got a note for ya'.

Whoever is playing eastern music here, raise your hand.
I used to play in a band that played both kinds of music. Country and Western!

Joe I like your attitude, and your stage poses. As a fan of good stage performance over technical ability myself, I must say, I fully agree.
