Well good evening Bill and to the rest of the net this is Ka9ehv. Well let's see, I spent today trying to come up with a song to follow the battle hymn of the republic that won't send people out the door. So you know the battle hymn of the republic sets up this mood and I'd like something to keep up the mood. My cousin Rob suggested I follow it with some of the military hymns and that definitely works. In fact I've been known to play the battle hymn of the republic, The caissons go rolling along, anchors away, halls of Montezuma, Aim High and the Coast Guard hymn, followed by America the Beautiful. But in an art gallery, you can get away with the battle hymn of the republic, but then the military hymn of the service songs, I'm just not sure. And I would like, because it's an art gallery, I would like people to stay around. The battle hymn of the republic draws people and that's why I'd like to be able to follow it with something that keeps the people I've so carefully drawn in the door keeping there. Other than that, I have managed to inculcate new characters into my epic without using the names of any Hawaiian royalty. That's actually a good thing for me because Hawaiian royalty is where I go when I'm desperate for character names. Then I have to remember to search and replace them before I publish the book because that's just weird in the middle of a space opera. So anyway, that's about all I have to say. It was beautiful out. I spent my time outside trying to figure out my glory hallelujah problem. And other than that, that's about all I've done. 73, 33, 88 to all of you. Thanks Bill for doing the net and to Jeff for holding the frequency while Bill got his equipment going. And thanks to all of you for listening. I love you all. This is KA9EHB back to net. Well thank you Ann. You have two challenging artistic problems there. I don't know what to substitute for Hawaiian royalty if you like that kind of thing. How about, I'm thinking to Jeff here of Roman emperors. He's got a nice lift of them as long as you're going to replace them anyway. Maybe they'll work. Who knows. The other one, the battle. What do you do after the battle in the Republic? How does something sort of, if I want people to hang around, I want something sort of peaceful and walkable. You know, andante. So they feel like strolling slowly through the gallery. So that's the tempo I suggest, andante. Alright, Brooks. Brooks, how are you doing tonight? KA9EHB, come in. Thanks for watching.
