    Rachel is currently using Garritan and it's great for a lot of things, but she has been researching the other libraries and has been extremely impressed by Vienna. One of these days...

    Mrs. Rachel's Mom - Congratulations on your daughters achievements. Its safe to say that she is a total and utter musical genius, but I'm sure you already know that Really looking forward to seeing this documentary so I can learn more about her. BTW, as a huge classical fan I love to see that she is digging music like Ligeti and Debussy besides the prog stuff.

    Do you know if she has ever attempted to tackle Ives Concord Sonata? Its one of the most difficult piano pieces I can think of (maybe along with Ligeti's Etudes).

    Hi - not to my knowledge... but then again she has an extensive musical life and I can't keep track of all her interests. I never know what to expect from her! ~ jeanie

    A friend of ours shot some video of Rachel on guitar and gave it to me. I have to take a look at it and see what the heck it is, but Rachel is definitely wanting to post some guitar!

    Impressive, to say the least. Rachel's attention to detail in terms of timbre and the idiosyncrasies of musician's styles never ceases to amaze me.
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    Hi Jeannie - The greatest compliment I can pay to the staggering phenomenon that is your child (other than helping to support the film), is to tell you (& Rachel, I hope) that at 70, I'm elated that I'm still around to hear her genius, and every time I hear her play, my big wish, just like rapidfirebob's, is to hear her perform live.

    Geez, she even has Bruford's snare drum sound down pretty well. Rachel is such an impressive talent. Jeannie, thanks for sharing this latest recording of hers. Any update on what she's been doing regarding perhaps making her own music?

    I have repeated this every time a thread about Rachel comes up, and I may have already done it once in this thread but it is worth repeating:

    What an inspiration Rachel Flowers is. I'm hoping all her musical dreams come true and I bet they will.

    No, that was Lark's Vomit. Or maybe even Larks' Vomit.

    I notice ElephantTalk Wiki describes 'aspic' as 'tomato jello', which isn't right.

You will be hearing more of her original writing pretty soon - knock on wood!!
