Subject:      A Reliable Salesman!

This is just my way of thanking someone.....
I recently spent quite a bit of time on the phone
talking about a "high end" keyboard purchase. The
salesman answered all my questions and took all
the time necessary that *I* needed to feel good
about ny purchase.  Later, when I decided not
to make that purchase, I received the same high
quality service as we negotiated a significantly
less expensive piece of equipment. The deal was
made, no pressure, everything shipped and arrived
exactly as planned and exactly as described. SO,
here is a public 'thank you' to Mark Shultz
in the keyboard department at Lentines Music,
Akron, Ohio. By the way you can reach Mark
at (216) 434 3138, ...tell em 'Dalton Sent Me'!

(The following is personal opinion and does not reflect the position of my
employer)

WARNING! Do not purchase computers from Ambra Computer Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of IBM. I have had extreme problems with this computer
company in terms of service and support. If you are considering the
purchase of a new computer system, I would strongly recommend that you
look elsewhere. If you desire details, I will be glad to explain fully by
private email.

Subject:      Concert by Juan Blanco, Cuban Pioneer

                     PAN-AMERICAN COUNTERPOINT UNITES
                         TRADITION AND AVANT GARDE

Pioneering Cuban electronic composer Juan Blanco
makes his first appearance in Boston for the US
premiere of his electro-acoustic compositions for
improvisers. Joining the venerable figure of the
Cuban avant garde in this extraordinary event are
composer-improvisers trombonist George Lewis and
saxophonist Neil Leonard III, who will each perform
their compositions for improvisation and
electronics. The music of each composer unites
Western and Non Western traditions in a new music
electronic context. The performance takes place on
November 6 at 8 p.m. at the ICA Theater, 955
Boylston St., Boston. Tickets are $10. The concert
is produced by The Space in collaboration with the
Boston Creative Music Alliance.

Juan Blanco, 74, has been a leading figure of the
Cuban avant-garde for over 50 years. With over 160
published works, he is Cuba's first electronic
composer and a musician whose works assimilate the
entire spectrum of Cuban music from folkloric Afro-
Cuban idioms to popular music and the Western
classical tradition. In this respect he is a
quintessentially Cuban musician. His pieces include
symphonies and chamber pieces, as well as music
concrete, pieces for folkloric instruments and
magnetic tape, and a multimedia work for the jazz
group Irakere and animated film. He will be
presenting several US premiers, including "Circus
Toccata, "along with a world premier of "Espacios V"
written especially for Leonard.

Sorry for the bandwidth, gang, but I recently saw a post here by
