note-- here is the link for the Blue Cayuga Jazz myspace page. Caution: it's rather ... ug,... 'cookie'... infested, so I was hesitant to link it to this page, but many of us can now safely access such sites, with better "browser"s, firewalls, virus catchers, etc... : Blue Cayuga Jazz

The following still work with a dialup, but loading could take awhile (as lomg as a half hour for sonimprovata II on a slow dialup connection). (but just start it and go off and get some things done while it loads!). You do of course need a computer with speakers, though, too..
performance (some of the same stuff might sometimes appear here)
sample of some compositions by Dave Streater-- hopefully updated soon...(but you know how it is...)

I do give lessons, too.

Click here for how to send "eemayil" ('xcuse the bot- baffling spelling...) to Dave! USE PLAIN TEXT!!!! If you're a spammer (spammers DON'T use plan text!), or if you send mail with too much "mark-up bs" in it, or any kind of pernicious mail), it will automatically be routed to "spam-busters" and deleted! So use plain text with no ...'fancy'...(yeah, right..) html codes. Also, if you wish me to get your mail, you must avoid any words that often appear in spam (we all know what these are). --In the subject line, especially.

NOTE:
For links to outside sites, there is of course also a slight risk of pernicious ...'cookies'... or other viruses. Thus you click at your own risk"!
__but do please let me know about any accessibility problems or warnings I should have given accessibility- wise (for example, irresponsible, ...UM,... UH,... ...'updating'... ... (yeah right...)) for links given on these pages. ALSO, this is a ...'COOKIE'... - FREE SITE!!!! Thus, please advise me if this page gets hacked and attempts to infect your 'puter with any !@%#!*&, uh, ...'cookie'...'s

Worldwatch Institute-- a prime source of objective and forward-looking information containing lots of numerical data; i.e., lots of dismal statistics, but if you wade through these (and overcome any depression you encounter as a result of THINKING...), you get to some really well-thought-out ideas on some of the things we really need to do, and other things we might want to try, to ensure the future well-being of the children of the world, who will have to somehow deal with what we leave them!

And they sawed... the branches on which they sat... --Bertold Brecht; click the hypertext for the rest of the poem... To put it more directly. 'we' (under ...'our'... self-appointed dictator, geeDubya Nush) are screwing up the world very, very quicly-- it may already be beyond repair.

However, WE CAN, if we summon up our Buddha- Nature, find the strength in our lives to STOP SAWING these proverbial branches on which human beings' continued existence in this world IS PRECARIOUSLY PERCHED!
