Aw, Elizabeth, I'm sorry to have not made my "tongue-in-cheekness" 
obvious enough in implying that BIAB did the magic that got you invited 
to play, and that if I simply used it, within a week I'd be vastly 
improved, too. Maybe my "winky" emoticon didn't come through on your 
e-mail client or something.

I was joking of course, knowing how seriously you've approached your 
harmonica pursuits since I first recall you emerging on the "L." Its 
been clear from the beginning how earnest your questions have been. When 
you told us about your recent pilgrimage to study with Richard Sleigh, 
that pretty much cemented your position in the advanced ranks of the 
die-hard harmonica nuts like many of us on Harp-L. There's no question 
in my mind about your commitment to or personal investment in our 
beloved instrument.

Next time I'll be more careful. :-)
