"Ticks" on a Harpsichord

[Avery Todd]

John,

   I love it. I KNEW when I posted that that someone would "pick it up".
My only question was how long it would take. :-) I was starting to be
disappointed that no one had yet, but..........

   Congratulations! You're the winner! Thanks.

Avery

P.S. Ask your wife if Hartz would be a good brand, or should I go with a
specialty collar since it has three legs instead of four? :-)
