 You guys need to quit whining. After the hurricanes (3), all we have 
left are Palm fronds. We have to glue them to a comb and then tie the 
comb to our hands with rubber bands.

 Which brings up a good point. Much doo-doo has been cast as to why 
overblows & overdraws are good, and why custom harps are good.
 On the one hand we have (I believe) Tim Moyer? say that he has only 1 
or 2 operational harps and about TWO HUNDRED he can't play.
 On the other hand Chris the Arkangel of the downtrodden says that he 
has blown out all HIS harps.

question: why?.......ahaaaa, that's right......I rest my case......JoJo
