[DECtalk] notes for some songs

Thank you Alex.  I'm not trying to be mean.   I am disabled and can only type 
7 words a minute.  It took me over 7 months  to put this together.  I made 
this mostly for the blind, so I had to  actually spell out words like space, so 
everyone would know when to space.   Left bracket, right bracket, period, I 
put everything in audio so everyone could  use this.  It was no easy task at all.
 
I really don't want this on the internet just  yet.  In a few years it will 
be, but not now.  I love bluegrasspals  and I still want to give out free CDs 
because you all like Dectalk and I want to  help you all enjoy it.  I just 
don't want this one CD available to the  world for free because it feels too much 
a part of me.
 
Anything else I put out I encourage to be past around  anywhere and 
everywhere.  But Dectalk 101 feels too personal to give to the  world for free.  See, 
deep within the voice coding is personal information  about me.  Some of the 
voices I created are actually addresses of places  where I sang and stuff in the 
Minneapolis area.  In that way I'm very much  like Dennis Klatt because he 
hid stuff in his work as well.  I'm a master  at phonetics, so I even mask stuff 
deep within songs.  You totally have to  listen to hear certain coded things 
within songs.  Only 3 people know what  I did, so it's kind of a joke.
 
With the voice codes of Dectalk 101 and a Minneapolis  phone book, you can 
compare the parameter settings to street numbers of places  and figure out where 
I hung out.  I made it like a fun puzzle.  So  that's why Dectalk 101 is so 
much a part of me.  And that's why I don't  want to just give it out to the 
world just yet.

But I  think he wants to avoid that as it took him a very long 
time to make so he  would like some compensation, not for anyone 
who wants to to just go  download the files.

Have a great day,
Alex
