<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>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.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>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.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>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.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>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.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
