Interesting thought, Newton. My mind almost instantly took off in the other direction, though. I was wondering if one could design a hall with the possibilities of an almost infinite number of standing waves possible.?? Talk about a live hall!! (Probably totally impractical and completely foolhardy, but it was a fun thought for a couple of seconds.) :-) Hey, I hope you're starting to feel a little better, now that (hopefully) you've started to heal a bit. Hang in there, Newton. You've been in many of our thoughts and prayers.
