Disklavier

Peter,

As discussed in earlier messages, by "human error" those 
performances were not recorded and thus do not exist.  Whoa, we're 
getting philosophical here.  Sounds as if Bishop Berkely is back 
among us. (If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear 
it, etc)

Here is Samuel Johnson's rebuttal to Berkely, as reported by Boswell:
"After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time 
together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the 
nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is 
merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine 
is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the 
alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty 
force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- "I refute 
it thus."
Boswell: Life of Samuel Johnson

Physicist John Wheeler's current project is to examine whether the 
universe exists without observers.  Berkely all over again, but this 
time with arguments bolstered by quantum physics.

But I digress (big time). Please don't make this a thread, as Todd 
will get grumpy.
