Can't agree. No way is that as musical as bens best bens feet!
Send them both, back to back and try to tell me afterwards you still think
the bent wire is more musical than bens feet!
But it you really still believe that, then:
Different strokes for different folks!

The phrase is actually "Bens Best Bent Wire"......probably the most rhythmic
phrase I've ever heard.
But.....that was back in the heyday of the BUG. It sounds better with
just a touch of
"swing". There are other words and phrases that bring back the Morse
magic.....
I like the word POSSESSES or the call K2UFO. I can not figure a way to
demonstrate
these things on the computer...maybe you can try them with your key on the
air??
