Dear sir,

Wait a minute, after scanning several days worth of messages I
just have to take the time to respond to this mistaken identity
problem in your post.  The person here is the esteemed Mr.
Florence, my associate, friend and cohort here at ASU. I must
say he has made a believer out of me about the issues of
bushing lubricants. Incidently, please do not apologize
for discussing such a issue so critical in the pursuit of
controlling friction in the piano.  Brent
