I think that you worded it wrong and was a little tiny bit off. Its not 8 notes but rather letters. And its not 8 its 7 C, D, E, F, G, A, B Yet technically there is 12 notes: 7 maj and 5 sharps and flats
Standard chromatic scale is C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B ( 12 )
The doh, re, me, fa, so, la, ti is the maj notes ( 7 ). Doh is twice because that is the start of the next octave.
Doh is the same note.
I saw where you were going. Letters though not notes. I find this all very strange because you taught me so much about music growing up!

Response from Gene:
You're absolutely right.
...as far as Western music goes.
Of course there are quarter notes in Tibetan music...and Japanese/Chinese music has its own slightly different, perhaps larger musical language.
But again, you're right.
Gene,
Do you ever think maybe you way too many irons in the fire??

Response from Gene:
No.
You?
Hi Gean,
I consider myself you're biggest fan. As a child you hung on my ceiling, didn't know then what it was about you that had me, STUCK but i grew up and hmmmm....I found out what it was, lol. Then i got married and never lost the dream of seeing you up close and personal. I always said nothing would stop me from seeing KISS. The chance came for me to see you and i couldn't go due to my man but he got me to the point, forced by my husband to miss you're farewell tour in New Orleans Louisiana. The next day i had divorce papers filed.
Well faith smiled and there was another Kiss concert, another chance for me to see you're in person. It would have taken GOD himself to come down to stop me from being there. "determination"
I told the people i went with that I was gonna get you're attention at all cost. He betted me a tee shirt that out of 25,000 people I had no chance of getting you to notice me. WELLLLLLLLLL he lost. I whistled to you and yelled you're name, to his surprise, not mine you heard and walked over to me and my dreams had came true. YOU SHOWED ME YOU'RE TONGUE. I was never left speechless until then. I was lost for all words except WOW. That’s when the concert started as u said "THAT’S WHY THEY CALL ME DR. LOVE" and kicked off the most awesome concert i had ever been too.
I want to thank you first for hearing me and coming over to me, you're da chit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now i have 1 more thing to ask of you.
There must be a video of the concert of my dream come true. If at all possible, would you send this to me.
I REMAIN ............................
YOU'RE BIGGEST FAN
Response from Gene:
!!!!!
Dear Mr. Simmons,
I've been asked to make a critical review on a business or management book relating to the cultural industries. Having read your book, Sex Money Kiss, I choose it. You insist it's not a business book, but speak in length about money. Business is money, and I thank you for your knowledge, and making my business project that much more enjoyable.
You are proof that one can be successful through unconventional means, persistence and a whole lot of marketing.
You kick ass.
Thanks,
Chris Goll
Hi Gene,
I was reading an article about this guy who makes his living body-painting the nude models who dance at Mardi Gras in Brazil.
I've also seen pictures of the women who show up naked at Playboy Mansion Halloween parties, except for their body-paint costumes.
So, it got me thinking... Would Kiss ever consider not wearing the costumes at a concert and instead just going out naked with the costumes painted on?

Response from Gene:
Sure. How about next concert!!!!
Hi Gene,
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting you(in the Holiday Inn Bookstore) prior to your Jan.11,1978 show in Huntington, WV. You were very cordial & gracious to me & my dad. I became obsessed with KISS in 1976 a few months before the Paul Lynde Halloween Special. I have spent thousands on paraphernalia over the years. You are my idol to this day since you don't drink or smoke, plus--your unbelievable work ethic, & the respect & love towards your mother. I share your same view on marriage(I'm 45 & single), loving every minute of it.
A fan forever,
Terry
Few years ago you allowed fans to ship you something to sign for about $500.00. Now that you'll all be in LA or somewhere together rehearsing for a tour, any chance you'll be offering that again?

Response from Gene:
None of this is true.
