ROTFLMAO!!!!
Stopit! You're killing me. The traditional coffee shot up the nose.
Anyway. All of this reminds me that it really *is* time we put up a harp-l soundbytes library, where we'd at least be able to make zzzzzhhhhhtwack a link to a .wav file!
As well as a lucky-dip area, where folk can put up any old stuff, I'd like to see some more "official", "structured" stuff. Things that we can use as a frame of reference. So if we want to talk about Madcat's "hup-pah" stuff, or a Jimmy Reed blowbend sound, or the four notes on hole three bend, or the zzzzzhhhhhtwack (which I will now always think of as The Death Sound) ... we can just point at it.
I remember all this stuff being discussed a while back, but for starters the technology has changed since then, and also I'm too lazy to go look through the archives!
I don't have the time to really supervise anything, but can give the server space and accounts on "my" system(s) to get it hosted.
Step up, step up. I know Tom Barker is interested (and has been bugging me to get it done), and I'm guessing that there's a lot of folk out there who could at least contribute a phrase or two.
Reply to this thread and keep it on list until we know who all is involved. I'm going to go and create some web pages to start with.
