[edit] 65 notes?

The article says Johnston: "has come to advocate a tonal system of 65 notes to the octave" - could we be more specific, please? Exactly what is this tuning and what are its intervals?

-- Yahya Abdal-Aziz, 8 December 2005

Where does it say that? I don't see it. If anything should be said about this, I don't think a "number-of-tones-per-octave" description does justice to his approach, and I would be happy to write something else. Namrevlis 20:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Georgia

Re: Georgia: I'm not sure what the goals of "WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state)" are, but Ben Johnston left Macon, GA as a young man and in not particularly associated with that state. He lived the majority of his adult life in Champaign, IL and Rocky Mount, NC, and is most associated with the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana. Namrevlis 02:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
