Talk:Aaron Bank

message: ...I was not reading about the guy I thought I'd be reading about. I was looking for Aaron Banks, New york based martial arts promoter/practitioner who brought karate tournaments to mainstream television.

replies: text: The source was an article published by the Experience Music Project as part of their Jimi Hendrix exhibition that ran from June 2003–August 2007.

replies: text: Thank you for your quick reply. Did that article explain that "influence" or did it just mention the song titles? In the latter case, that article most likely confused "voodoo chile" with "highway chile". – Talking of "influence" in such an abstract way, one could also mention the song "Rolling Stone" written by Suzi Quatro :-) Cheers--Suaheli (talk) 12:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The influence is covered in the "Voodoo Chile" article: the song began under the title "Catfish Blues", which was made up of a collection of Muddy Waters verses including one from "Rollin' Stone". The song changed over time into "Voodoo Chile".  An anon editor added the line to this article. I agree that "influenced" is vague and could be clarified. dissolvetalk 18:54, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

message: This article needs a complete rewrite. For one, someone needs to expand on the phases of the songs and mention something about the Geetobitan.

message: Being curious, but what are the sources of these medleys?  I'm aware of the "Old Medley" on Live/The Way We Walk, Volume Two: The Longs, but I'm not familar with any of the others, and there are no sources, concert dates, CDs, etc., for confirmation.  I'm concerned that the list nature of the article, and some of the eccentric selections in the medleys, could lead anyone to make up a medley with any random mixture of songs and it'll sneak through unnoticed. --Ataricodfish 18:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

This is a map of the SD, related info actually says it includes all of Palmerston, East Arm and Litchfield which came as a surprise to me.

Not one of them mentioned living in a cave or under a bridge in order to connect with the gods (either as a kindred or individually).  For that matter, no ancient Germanic source refers to communal worship in similar places...so it's unlikely that a modern kindred would meet (let alone live!) in caves or under bridges for rituals.

thread_title: Real?

message: There are many errors in the description of the wiring of the handset connection:
* Not all manufacturers wire the handset as described here, quite often the speaker (actually transducer) uses the inner wire pair, not the outer wire pair. Even other configurations are sometimes used, there is no standard, except that the described situation is more used than others.
* Its not true nowadays that the polarity of the microphone is insignificant! That might have been true in the past when carbon microphones were still in use, but almost all telephones now use FET-microphones, and these are polarized. When the polarity is reversed the microphone will not work.
* I don't know what the resistor in series with the speaker is doing, normally handsets do not use a loudspeaker or a series resistor, they use a device called a "transducer", this is an encapsulated speaker, so sound pressure cannot enter the inside of the handset where it might reach the microphone, causing unwanted feedback.
