 		SPEC: tap boom from sarah's note on the hands

tap boom, boom tap, tap boom, tap boom tap tap,
boom boom, boom, boom boom tap, tap tap boom, tap
Well >sigh< here I go again. Rolling Eyes
Could this be Morse code or binary?
If tap=dot and boom=dash> A N A L M T G U E
If tap=dash and boom=dot> N A N Y I E U G T

If tap=0 and boom=1>e>
If tap=1 and boom=0>šÁ
(nah, not binary for sure)

Anyone?

 		SPEC: Differnt direction for tap BOOM
maybe instead of looking at it as if it were words, what if we are talking about music?

Faeries dance... and some legends have it that if you play music the faeries will dance uncontrollably until the music stops.

how about if tap Boom Boom, tap tap Boom is a pattern that will cause this and give one some power over them?

In Africa, as in many other traditional cultures, religious music and dance play the central role of invoking possession-trance. In possession, the person loses consciousness of himself as an individual and becomes the vehicle or mouthpiece of a "deity," a personification of one of the great forces of the inner or the outer world. The actions and speech of the person possessed are regarded as those of the deity and are looked to for advice, healing, prophecy, and magical power.

One of the unique features of the instruments is their ability to closely imitate the rhythms and intonations of spoken language. In the hands of skilled performers, they can reproduce the sounds of proverbs or praise songs through a specialized "drum language" - their dialogue can be easily understood by a knowledgeable Yoruba audience. Whether accompanying dances or sending messages, the sound of these instruments can carry many miles. Specific talking drum patterns and rhythms are also closely linked with ogun, or spiritual beings associated with the traditional Yoruba belief system originally celebrated in Nigeria and parts of Ghana. This religion (and its instrumentation and rhythmic patterns) spread to South and Central America, regions of the Caribbean and the United States during the era of the slave trade. Because of the perceived potential of talking drums to "speak" in a tongue unknown to slave traders and thus to incite rebellion, these and other drums were once banned from use by African Americans in the United States.

Sometimes the changeling would procure a musical instrument such as a fiddle and play it wildly; forcing everyone in the house to dance against their will until exhaustion set in.

 		ANALOGUE
I believe the tap-boom sequence was mistranslated when originally transcribed from Sarah's notes. I think part of a tall letter from the line below was originally transcribed as a comma between two booms, and see the sequence as .- -. .- .-.. --- --. ..- . (taps are dots; booms dashes) giving us ANALOGUE.

Since ST1 is sending mail from the netscape account and only sent one tap tap message to ppl, I sent this tap boom sequence to it. Hopefully we wont have to go through the whole learning process again...
