CAUT in Kansas 99

[Avery Todd]

   If this is done, how about including info about databases to use, ways
in which they can be used, etc.?
   Another thought is a session on Piano Technology courses for the piano
students. Several, including me, have asked about that over the last year
or two. Since I haven't been able to go to a National in a long time, maybe
this has already been done, but, if not.............
