Hi you two.. glad to see you made it home safe and sound Chris ! For the record.. it is "Skål", or in strict English spelling "Skaal". Å is pronounced as in the movies :) We did indeed have a great time ! Bob, Chris, and Anne are a great teaching trio who set each others personalities and strengths off very nicely indeed. And as for the after hours entertainment... well there were some great stories told back and forth thats for sure ! Great fun. As for the fire breathing dragon bit.... well well well... I suppose I'm as harmless as an Orangutan with a fresh swallow of Aquavit in the mouth and a lighter in my hand :-) Perhaps that WOULD be dangerous... but then how many times do you run into an Orangutan thusly armed ? Anne promises a picture soon that may (or may not) further enlighten ! Anyways.. thanks for the kind words and even more so for a wonderful weekend ! PS... Eric is doing anything but wasting away.... he THOUGHT perhaps he was leaving a hectic NY City schedule for a laid back existence with his telescopes and new wife. He's got a full slate plugged into his schedule for the next 6 months as I hear it. And he is a very happy camper indeed. We are greatful to have him thats for sure. Cheers! RicB ' I'm pretty sure it was Skoll!! not sure that is the spelling CS Thanks Chris, Glad to hear Eric is not wasting away there! Wish I could have been there...I 've ordered some VSP and will try it out here in our "laboratory" of 420 pianos. If it can prolong bushing life on our practice room pianos (17 hours per day use) then if will be well worth it because every 3 years or so werebush. As Ric says, Cheers! Jim
