Alternate sections are marked Say and Play. The Say sections are spoken or sung to an improvised tune in a stentorian and condescending manner, as a traffic court judge lecturing a recidivist speeder. Read as though the text makes perfect sense, even though its grammar and meaning may make sudden, unexpected turns.
The Play sections use an ordinary five-line staff
with oval note heads () interspersed
with diamond () and cross () note heads. Play
in a manner that contrasts with the lecturer's attitude. Be mocking
or solicitous or calm or resigned or anything else appropriate.
) indicates some non-standard noise, like
a multiphonic or a strum behind the bridge or a dropped drumstick or a cheese-grater arpeggio or something else. Use your imagination.

direction) different from the preceding note.
You can play in concert with other performers, who may play other versions of this piece, or other any other materials, composed or improvised. When playing with others, the Say sections should be performed as disruptively as possible, and the Play sections should be played sensitively, with utmost regard to enhancing the performance of the other players.

Say: The fact that concert bands there? I know that the discussion wasn't about linear thinking. That's why people should check it out. Too many people seem to think of "parades" or "football game halftime shows" whenever "band" is mentioned in such a deduction. My CD library is over a thousand in size, and I've told you to do nothing but make personal attacks. I've been posting here for years. However, the probability of being noticed goes up considerably, and that happens when an antagonist like John Doe at this point.

Say: It's not your choice. History has already portrayed you as someone who lacks a logical sense.
Play:
Say: How so, given that I've pointed to Bartok, Rachmaninoff, Pudge, Professor Plum, you've demonstrated that you take another look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:06:14 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:06:14 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't answer the question. It was JD. As in John Doe.
Play:
Say: You're presupposing that I'm thinking in such a deduction. My CD library is over a thousand in size, and I've mentioned a liking for a New Era" is wonderful. And for a while? There is a story about him threatening to forbid wind performances of his music because "bands so bastardize it that orchestras will never play it on your "parade".

Say: Be my guest.
Play:
Say: Why?

Say: Sure: look above, and note the absence of any such cases?
Play:

Say: On what basis do you claim that I was the one who admitted to posting "bait".
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Say: Irrelevant, given that you add irrelevant newsgroups, thus exacerbating the problem, is in your posting.
Play:
Say: Non sequitur, given your reference to Graham Chapman.
Play:
Say: But I made a further posting to which I made it clear that *I* do consider it to me, but I didn't answer my own evaluation of myself?
