RE: [Harp-L] a place to practice - the modern day Woodshed

Pretty cool, but I'd feel like I was in a port-o-san or "time out" in
there, haha. Hmm, maybe a good place to send the little brats when they
misbehave too. What's that quote from Cool Hand Luke - "Any man playing
grabass or fightin' in the building spends a night in the box" I
wouldn't mind so much if I could practice, so yeah, this *is* pretty
cool :^)
