OK, Joel, I'll be your volunteer. But I must warn you, I have had some 
of the best our industry try to teach me, guys like Laroy Edwards and 
the late Guy McKay. I can do it with two peices of wire outside the 
piano, but when I have to do it in the piano, it's just not working. I 
did it ONCE, and that took me almost 30 minutes, and I don't know what 
or how I did it. 

See you in KC.
