Well, I almost got Mosaic installed, but will switch to NetScape soon 
before even trying out Mosaic.  I hope my computer gurus know of what 
they speak -- they seem to agree with you, Chris.

	Actually, this is my message to you sending thanks for starting up 
Harp-L.  I've only been net-surfing a couple months, but being a "closet 
harmonicist" for 15 years or so, this mail list is a real hoot!  I think 
I will be able to inject a few things of interest now and then, but will 
probably sit back and enjoy the banter from afar most of the time, and 
am already learning more than I ever thought I would about playing the 
harp.  I've picked up so many hints and ideas about the instrument, the 
music, techniques, possible cd's to acquire, etc.....it's AMAZING!


	I 've wondered if you ever imagined Harp-L would expand into this?  
I'm trying to go back and read all the entries since its inception, but 
its hard just to keep up with the current stuff.  Isn't it incredible?!
Has it all affected your harping?  I'd be surprised if it hasn't.

	I still have my first harp, a Blues Harp in D, and I still use 
it.  (I sort of LIKE how it's broken in!) :)  Most that I've owned have 
been Blues Harps--Yeah, this Tallahassee Lassie, like other lady harpers, 
finds the thinness of them more comfortable in smaller hands than some 
other harps.  I do have an Eb Special 20 that I really do enjoy, and a 
couple of old Marine Bands around here...somewhere......I think....?  If
I can find them, I plan to use them to try some of the harp surgery I've 
read about in some of these posts--ya never know!  Might be worth it!

	Mainly, I love the blues, and have more than a few albums, tapes 
and cd's to listen to and/or play along with--Sonny Boy, Carey Bell, 
Little Walter, Junior Wells (saw him a year or more ago with B.B. King, 
Lonnie Brooks, Buddy Guy, et al--yeah, right here in little ole Tally 
town--Blues is Big here, actually!)  Buddy Guy was here just a few weeks 
ago, and I MISSED IT!  In fact, I need to post a note to Barry S. about a 
guy he was asking about awhile back, Pat Ramsey.  I don't really know 
him, but my sister has been the female singer in Crosscut Saw, the 
Tallahassee band he was with, several years ago.  Small world, indeed!

	Well, I better quit.  It's a bit late, even for a "Nightsurfer" 
like me.  And I'll dump the big-sig next time, too; but hey, you know 
how weird one can get at four in the morning with all these compu-toys 
beggin' you to play with them. %)  Till next.....
