Why not learn it? >Susan Kline Ah......Susan, I'd settle with correctly spelled English around here. (Or maybe even a set of minimal standards for quote attribution, which is nowadays on the slap-dash side.) IMHO, those of us who do know music theory and notation (or can learn) will make a contribution to the general musicianship if we use (and reinforce) the the language of musicians. Honoring this language will also remind us of their importance in our business. Provincial dialects are good for the shop (heck, you can even even make up technical terms, like "magic line"). But let's tell the public that if we ourselves aren't musicians, we certainly are hired by them. Bill Ballard RPT NH Chapter, P.T.G.
