My ears agree with that. I would have problems with this approach.. However, 
since it's unlikely that such a meeting would take place within reach of my 
travel. . .
but....Some of us on this list are regulars at Buckeye, or SPAH... and, while 
Joe Filisko's teach-ins are useful, I bet a meeting of this sort at one of 
those gatherings, to talk about the many weird things some of us do to make our 
harps play easier, would be well-attended. Maybe we can aim at something like 
this for Buckeye 2006? If we can drag ourselves away from all the 
entertainmetn that I know Jack is already planning....

Still a fool for the Harp
