RIPPEN soundboards -- its gotten longer

[Brian Trout]

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.

Best wishes,
