"The existential reality, I mean the REAL reality, is note-to-note, but the fact is that, for me, music is like a thing of hunts...of sentences.  For me an idea is not one note.  An idea is, like, a sentence, or a paragraph sometimes."  ~ Jerry Garcia, from 'Jerry on Jerry' edited by Dennis McNally
