Thanks for coming to my rescue, Bob!  I received two electronic mail requests
for details but was tardy in responding due to being snowed under by two papers
I'm trying to wrap up!  Nevertheless, your citation had better get corrected
before things get out of hand.  The two issues are Numbers 3 and 4 of Volume
13 (not volumes 12 and 13).  For those interested in the specific articles,
the Jenkins piece on pitch perception and Gjerdingen's ART piece are in Number
3.  Bharucha and Todd are in Number 4.  Personally, I did not think very much
about the ART article;  but I am prepared to be persuaded otherwise.
