If things are soooooo boring, why don't you do some research and teach an interesting course or two of your own? Some time ago, I offered you a chance to do an HVLP tuning demo at the recent regional seminar. (I arranged for many of the instructors/classes, and thus was qualified to give that as a serious offer) - I'm sure the attendence at the seminar would have been WAY up just to see both of us on the same stage... ;-} Silence. Tim Farley gave well attended and interesting classes there - I didn't see you... I even prepared an HT concert given on a harpsichord AND a fortepiano - two different temperaments - I suppose that would have been too boring, too? >I'm not going because I'm just plain NOT INTERESTED!
