Sometimes, particulary on gmail I get these premature launches, Looks

Should be "Play in" vs "play ing".
I don't remember where I got the information but I was under the
impression that M. Paris favors a C Diatonic. I remember wondering how,
Maybe "Diatonic" (Diatonique) means something else in France ("They
have a different word for EVERYTHING"). Maybe it's just the sort of
nasty rumors that the tabloids churn out. ("He knows about Altos")
Hope that helps, but I seriously doubt that it will.
