I have to concur that Bob Herndon is not just the king of harmonetta, but a 
prince of a person!  This was Bob's first SPAH in several years and I admit 
I didn't take enough advantage of it.  Bob can take any tune and turn it in 
to a harmonic masterpiece with his incredible use of harmonic motion that 
always leaves me dazed and, sometimes kind of scared . . . :-0.  Anyone who 
hasn't heard him play is missing something.
