<html> <body> Lance, Good to hear that you're OK. We really got lucky here in Houston, but I feel really bad about everyone in the East Texas & Louisiana area(s). I felt especially bad when I saw that the levee had broken again. I haven't had power at my apt. in over 2 days, so I haven't seen much TV, except what I can see in a bar. :-) I hope there wasn't as much flooding as before. Hope to hear good news from you soon.

As far as the Baldwin, you know someone is going to pick that piano up, and then call you to "tune it," thinking that will make it play "just like new." He'll forget to mention it has a few stuck keys and a couple of broken strings.   Wim </blockquote> <x-sigsep></x-sigsep> _______________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-4017</body> </html>
