GG: New FAQ

[Mary Jo Watts <mwatts@rci.rutgers.edu>]

I've been saying for the better part of a year that I was going to
update the GG FAQ on the f_minor site (some of you may be familiar with
my first attempts on Paul Fawcett's site.) But now I really mean it.
('Yeah, sure!' I hear so many of you groan.)

I thought I'd start by posing the most obvious questions to the list and
inviting responses and additions.  It would be great for those of you
who have expertise/interests in a particular field to answer the
questions you can. Ex. people with recording experience could write a
little message about GG's/Kazdin's influence on recording and say your
take on a couple of recordings. Musicians could talk about his
technique.  Somebody who's writing a thesis about his writings could say
a paragraph or two about their importance... Someone with a terrific
sense of humor could talk about his personae...  I think it could be a
great resource.  Credit to all who join the game.  Posting to the
f_minor site ASAP.

Here go the questions off the top of my head:
