Vin, I did realise that it was myself vibrating, not the TV! However, your point is well made about high and low notes. Having always been a low player, my experience of 'frizzy' pictures in the high tessitura are pretty limited! Ralph R. Hall, brasshausmusic.com On 29 May 2009, at 22:45,

Hi Lawrence: I noticed the ceiling fan phenomenon years ago when I was a single gal practicing in my Bronx, New York apartment. My answer was to turn off the fan and shed the clothes. I sweated a lot, at times copiously, but at least I sounded okay! Leslie Former Bronxite ___
