Hi Bill, Optical illusion. I can ever resist any mechanical music but noticed a strange effect after staring fixedly while reading the words on that moving piano roll. When I looked down at the other text below on my screen it appeared to be moving quickly upwards. Probably the same effect noticed when looking backwards out of a moving vehicle - trains especially. When the train stops the view from the window continues to seemingly move.
No red wine on this occasion...honest!

One of the verses ends with: Lu Lu she's so dumb she'll soon be in the booby hatch I saw her telling time last night on a sundial with a match. I don't really recommend the performance, but it is here: http://youtu.be/o2gscYRU2U4 . Verse starts at 1:52. -Bill --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
