If you will allow me Ed, I`m posting this on K as I think it`s humorous
enough to go public with.

TW said,

"How many bands/orchestras would we have in the 21st century, had
electricity not been discovered? Just think - the BBC would have still been
using the band (lillibulero) - think about it - - - "

TW`s reply,
"The way the sound balancing is conducted these days, I think "smoke
signals" is not such a far out analysis. Still, we`ve got digital radio to
look forward to soon. They`ll need to get their ears syringed out for that
event won`t they.
Do you already have digital radio in America? What`s it like? Is your sound
balancing OK for live radio broadcasting? "
Thanks Ed.
Best,
Tony W.
