I don't know where to begin... ;-)

Reminds me of my favorite double-entendre line from the song Flashdance:

Those of you with kids might want to check out Morton
Subotnick's "Creating Music" website at
http://www.creatingmusic.com/ and "Creating Music"
DVDs. There are several musical sketch pads on the
site and more elaborate versions on the DVDs.

Later,

Jason
