Hey, Brendan

Welcome to the Select Group of The Banished.

It happens to Some Of The Best Of Us, and I mean that literally. 

Coincidentally, it also happens to some really crazy folks, so it's a mixed group: The Sane, and those whose sanity falls below what one would normally expect, and wish for.

We have meetings in the basement (really more of a crawl space, but it works, but is best for our shorter members) of my house here in Los Angeles on alternating St. Andrew's Days of odd-numbered years, and then we go down the street to Tommy Morgan's house for High Tea. I'm sure he'd love to see your new invention as much as his wife would love getting your input on toppings for those little Tea Cakes that we used to get when I lived in Cambridge, England.

I, myself, provide enough bacon drippings on toast to make the meal complete. (I use my late mom's recipe)

I will be having a forum on my site, http://jonkip.com, at some point, but not today, I have stuff to do.

When I do open the forum up, I'll put a section in it for "Tabbing The Gospel with Brendan" so you feel just as at home as you do (did) on Slideminister's site.

For a mere $400 (USD, no checks please), I will lower my prices for site banners (usually $425) and allow you to put a banner on my site on the HOME PAGE!!!!

I assure you that tens of people will, in any given year, visit the site and learn about chromatic harmonica and the playing of jazz-adjacent music on that really silly instrument. 

Your new instrument will be a hit, I'm sure, among the well-heeled-professional harmonica players looking for easier playing of passages that inexperienced composers write so very often, as well as a great Tax Deduction...and probably fun.

To those ends, please send me (off list) your credit card information, your mother's maiden name, and PT Gazelle's phone number.

Thank you in advance, I'll go out on my porch now to wait for your cheque.
