The first two unisons have been changed from size 19 to 20 to boost tension &darken the sound.  It is a very wonderful sounding break. The look is a very neat & tidy appearance & the Musical enhancement is IMHO greatly improved.</DIV> <DIV>   My thanks to all bellyheads who have shared the bizzarro ideas over the years. These things work & pan out in real life.  If any one would like to come & play it give a call.</DIV> <DIV>  Dale Erwin</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG id=MA1.1175317524 style="WIDTH: 480px; HEIGHT: 360px" height=360 src="cid:006001c775ad$6d80fb70$6501a8c0@win2ko9ndzsl7d" width=480 vspace=5 DATASIZE="57878" comp_state="speed"><IMG id=MA2.1175317524 style="WIDTH: 480px; HEIGHT: 360px" height=360 src="cid:006101c775ad$6d80fb70$6501a8c0@win2ko9ndzsl7d" width=480 vspace=5 DATASIZE="65900" comp_state="speed"><IMG id=MA3.1175317524 style="WIDTH: 480px; HEIGHT: 360px" height=360 src="cid:006201c775ad$6d80fb70$6501a8c0@win2ko9ndzsl7d" width=480 vspace=5 DATASIZE="36909" comp_state="speed"><IMG id=MA4.1175317524 style="WIDTH: 480px; HEIGHT: 360px" height=360 src="cid:006301c775ad$6d80fb70$6501a8c0@win2ko9ndzsl7d" width=480 vspace=5 DATASIZE="43397" comp_state="speed"></DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR> <DIV><FONT style="FONT: 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF; COLOR: black"> <HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px"> See what's free at <A title=http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503 href="http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503" target=_blank>AOL.com</A>. </FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
