A fine suggestion Dale. You wouldnt happen to have a digital camera
would you. Perhaps you could even go so far as to adapting your
technical to the list. If you need some space to put up pictures
temporarilly, I can provide up to 4 megs of net accessable space.

While we're on about it, I wouldnt mind hearing some suggestions for
fixing chewed up feet for Steinway Grand legs. School piano and they
dont want to change legs. But the castor mounts are all mucked up. I
suggested these square metal brackets and epoxy for fill. Not
particularilly elequent but functional. If anyone has a pretty and
inexpensive fix I'd like to hear about it.
