iPadを使い始めてから3週間以上が経過したが、アプリがクラッシュするという問題には比較的頻繁に遭遇する。
（中略）
ABC Playerを含め、筆者がこれまで導入したiPadアプリ30本以上のうち、すでに半分近い15本が最初の2週間で1回以上のバグフィクスを含むアップデートを行っている。柔軟に対応できるといえばそれまでだが、準備期間不足は否めない。アプリの数々が安定するまでには、まだまだ時間がかかるだろう。

未完成のまま見切り発車で発表し、フィードバックを受けつつ修正していくという、
いかにもヤンキーらしいアバウトさ。
iPhoneやiPadのアプリを動かすときの独特の指使い、あの動きが早速テレビＣＭ（日産cube）で使われている。

では、ソロバンならぬ弦を弾くピチカート（ピッツィカート, pizzicato）奏法の名曲をど～ぞ。
Orchestra and Chorus Conducted By Bernie Wayne – Zsa-Zsa（1953）
タイトルから「キリ番ゲット」を連想した（笑）
Acquaviva And His Orchestra – Curtain Time（1952/11）
シングル “My Love-My Love” のＢ面。
Leroy Anderson – Plink, Plank, Plunk（1952）
plink は「ポロンポロンと鳴る」こと。
Leroy Anderson and his “Pops” Concert Orchestra – Jazz Pizzicato / Jazz Legato（1950）
“Jazz Pizzicato” was the first of Leroy Anderson’s light orchestral compositions to achieve favor in the 1930s. The brief 1938 work was later-on combined with Anderson’s contrasting “Jazz Legato” to create a more-lengthy piece, which was first recorded by Arthur Fiedler’s Boston Pops Orchest
Roberto Ledesma – Corazón en Cristal
Ambrose and his Orchestra – Jazz Pizzicato（1948）
（instrumental）
The Ambrose band approaches here what was commonly known as “light music” in 1940s-50s England. Both this and the also-posted flipside “Jazz Legato” get full-length treatments, though Leroy Anderson had composed them in the late 1930s for the Boston Pops as shorter pieces that are usually combined and performed as a single circa-three-minute entity.

Horace Heidt and His Musical Knights – Pizzicati Polka（1939）
Swingin’ the classics （as some bands were wont to do during that era）, this is a treatment of Léo Delibes: the “Divertissement: Pizzicati” from Act 3 of the ballet Sylvia （1876）. The piano break is performed by Lou Busch–later sometimes billed as Joe “Fingers” Carr–who would be replaced in Heidt’s band that July by Frankie Carle. For the flip side “Beer Barrel Polka,”
ピチカートとは似て非なる意味のスタッカートというのもありますね。
