Problems

[Kent Swafford]

David,

It would be easier to adopt your attitude if the only problems were  
in the actions.

What of the soundboards that have forced the term "killer octave"  
into our vocabulary?

How does one polish the "diamond in the rough" that looks more like a  
simple lump of coal?
