I accept that.  But if such is the case, why are "melodic" Buchla 
recordings so incredibly rare?  Where's the "Switched-On Buchla"?

Just one tiny fugue is all I ask. Hell, I'll even settle 
for "Popcorn" (ugh) on a Buchla!  ANYBODY?

OK!  I'd like that.

So...um...just when is the next gathering?  Want to attract an 
additional 100 people?  I've got just the ticket-- a Konkuro dunking 
booth!  ;-)  But synth manufacturers would need to pay extra, lest 
they fight to see who's first in line.

>Wait a sec: is this the Buchla or Wiard list?<

Wiard is just a Buchla from a stable home.  Think of it as a "Blue-
chla."

Don't even get me started on the fracrac tirade...
