[CAUT] mind bender (for me at least..)

[Otto Keyes]

Michelle,

Your relatives would seem to be too hoomid fur shure!  Any possibility you
could beat some sense into whomever is handling the air handling system to
get a little more balanced approach?  I don't envy you come concert day.  Be
sure to let them know what you're up against with a few CMA memos.  The
lights may toast your tunings, so I'd sit near an exit.  :-)

Otto
