[CAUT] Bowing piano strings?

[Elwood Doss]

Bowing a piano?  Oh, come on, let's get past John Cage.  We need to move
on (and I 	DON'T mean moveon.org).  Fred Thompson for President!
Joy!

<<  I think that

rosin is probably not too good for bass strings, what do you think?<<'

       Greetings, 
       I think anything is not too good for bass strings!  Bass strings
go 
dead with the least amount of contamination.  I have seen one drop of
Coke kill 
a bass string, so maybe they should think of shoe-shining it with
something 
that doesn't come off.
