Re: [Harp-L] Beeswax Sealing and Customizing Marine Bands

["Tim Moyer" <wmharps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that the HarpAmps archive of Harp-L had been taken down, 
but after contacting Keith Graham about it, he has graciously 
restored the contents to a new location:

http://www.harptab.com/harpl/

The original post to which we were referring still has the same 
filename, just at the new domain:

http://www.harptab.com/harpl/200188818.html

Everyone needs to express their thanks to Keith for providing this 
great resource.  Until the harp-l.com hosted archives are complete, 
this is the only source of record of the 1995-2002 years, when some 
great topics were tossed around.  

Thanks, Keith!
