Very nice indeed, Steve! So that's you.

I warn you, I would want to look at your set list and choose the song(s) myself.

I hereby award myself an honorary degree in hematology/oncology (with a specialty in extra-nodal marginal zone lymphoma).  Image

I can look at garbagey computer-generated diagnoses that would be totally incomprehensible to most laypeople, correctly guess the actual conditions to which they refer, and even suggest corrections that my brilliant hematologist/oncologist considers worth making immediately. I can hand him hard copies of highly relevant, impeccably sourced medical journal articles and have him respond by accepting them eagerly and giving me witty but sincere compliments on having found them. The newly fledged doctors who are doing their fellowships or residencies in his practice sometimes talk down to me at first (they soon stop), but he never does.

:smug:

(I wish I could have earned an honorary degree in something else instead, but I've had to play the hand I was dealt.) :|

I just had a paper called "Tonality, Musical Form and Aesthetic Value" accepted for publication in a future number of Perspectives of New Music. I have an abstract of it here: https://www.academia.edu/18146197/Tonal ... etic_Value

It's long, theoretical, and maybe a bit boring (and it could be said to beat a dead horse), but I do mention the names of a bunch of jazz and improv folks, including Cecil Taylor, Ran Blake, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, AMM, Borah Bergman, Evan Parker, Keith Rowe, and David Borgo. Also the heavy metal bands Meshuggah, Gorguts and Ulcerate, and a lot of classical composers.

When I'm allowed to, I'll post the entire paper on that academia page.
