Different strokes,etc. I expect that when they run out of creative inspiration over there, that they will be back. The smart ones will probably just lurk here on the off chance the we might come up with something worth their consideration! > I retired from ASU in '89 > Scheduling is much simpler now.

I thought I was the only person that had that problem! :-) Seriously, I have always had problems in that area where the scale changes from agraffes to iron!! Even with lubrication, there is a whole lot of difference in the feel through the tuning hammer. That first unison on the v-bar is always the one that is going to slip if any! Do you have any good tricks to handle that? > PS It sure is good to only have 40 or 50 posts a day isn't it? Yes it is Jim, but it may not last long after people find out the alligators have left the pond! Actually I'm getting less than that, because I get ptg-l in digest also. Thanks for the "flowers" and the chat, I always enjoy your posts, Warren -- Home of the Humor List Warren D.
