But, more than that. Start with one passage in one recording, and
narrow down to one note. See, that's not a common frame of reference,
it's an *object* in common. The idea is to generate the frame of
reference from a consensus about several such objects.

BTW, *I've* never heard Pete Fountain. Who he?

Now, *purrlease* (said Nicholas Thomas -- who he?-) -- *don't* everyone
tell me.
