Thats true, but extra low sounds below human hearing is always nice. You
can't hear 20Hz but you sure can feel it. My car stereo's response is
actually goes down to about 16hz. The low bass can also give a feeling of
spaciousness which is kinda cool.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a homie bass system. I put a lot of time
and money into my car stereo to give the flattest frequency response I can
get and the clearest audio on my limited budget. I have a subsonic filter
switch on my EQ and I enjoy the sound much more when its off.

For whoever asked about why I call my Nokia 6161i a cell phone and not a
mobile... (it doesn't do custom ring tones...but it plays Ode To Joy when my
gal calls :) )
Around 1947 AT&T had ideas for mobile phones. The idea was that instead of
large radio towers and big, bulky, ultra-powerful phones, small towers with
limited range and similar phones would be used. This could be accomplished
if each tower was spaced apart so that their useful trasmitting ranges just
overlapped, and than all could use the same frequencies over and over within
their own transmitting/receiving area. When a call left a tower's coverage
area, it was "handed-off" to another tower on another frequency. When drawn
on a map, these zones looked like a honeycomb. When van Leeuwenhoek first
used a microscope to look at cork tissue, their honeycomb-like arrangement
reminded him of the cells of monks, so he called the spaces cells, and we
still do in biology today. So, being the creative guys they were at Ma Bell,
they did the same thing with their multi-tower map, and each coverage area
became known as a "cell".
In case you're wondering why cell phones are rather new when the idea was
put forth just after WWII, it's because the technology to actually do the
cellular scheme didn't exist. When AT&T asked the Federal Communications
Commission (which regulated all airwaves in the US) to give them some
bandwidth to work in so that the idea would be marketable if worked on, the
FCC gave them hardly any space. (The rest of the world was slow going on
this technology 'cause they were all mostly beat to shit by the war and had
other stuff to do, like feed people.) So it wasn't really until thirty years
later, when Ameritech first set up a trial commercial cell service in
Chicago, that we finally had cell service in America. The rest is history.
As for why the rest of the world calls these phones "mobile", I'm not sure.
Maybe the "cell" idiom didn't transfer well, or if European engineers were
working on these phones as well, they certainly weren't going to use AT&T's
name for it. So the simple name mobile was adopted.
Anyway, sorry to rant. Just thought I'd throw my .02 in since I actually had
info. --J

That would have been Ernie Ball himself if I remember right. :-)

Yeah, he wasn't into the rhythym part of the jam, I don't think he
knew what they were playing actually, because Steve Lukather kept showing
him what the chords were. But, after Albert Lee ripped it up (country
flat-picking style) for his solo spot, John P. did a really cool solo in
that same style (although at JP break neck speed)... you could see Albert
Lee and Ernie Ball nodding and smiling in approval.

I'll second it... the Dregs kicked some butt, and the dual drum
solo was one of the coolest points of the night...

Just an FYI, when I sent my NAMM Adventure to the Jam, I did do it in order!

I know that the term cell phone is mainly used in the U.S. and mobile pho=
ne
in the rest of the world (while speaking English) but guess what we Finns
call them? Hand phones. Or, actually, "hand phone" would be "k=E4sipuheli=
n"
and we mainly use "k=E4nnykk=E4", which could probably be translated as "=
handy"
(as in a short for hand phone, not as in useful). We also have other, les=
s
common and more humorous names for them... (I actually know one person wh=
o
refers to his phone as "dildo" =3D)

Hi,
To really support the band when you buy a cd, it is better to buy it to
the merchandising of the band during the gig. They buy the cd's at a
preferential price to the recording company, and the difference between
the normal price and the price they paid for it is for the band (minus
merchandising costs). The band earn more on this kind of sale than if
you buy cd in shops. Of course, this is only possible when the band
have a merchandising on tour.
Véro
