..Ladies/Gentlemen:
..i know this forum is used a basis of Piano Technology..my original post
invited public AND private debate..i do NOT want to appear to be rocking the
boat for those who read this forum strictly for Piano Technology..i have
learned loads from reading this list and will continue to learn from reading
all of your posts..if you are one of those people who are not happy with
this thread, my apologies and we can go private if you like..like I told Guy
Nichols privately. I've been defending myself and my ability to do this for
over 30 years now..it gets very old in a hurry defending myself to the true
non-believers, but to those with an open mind willing to learn about it,
I'll talk till my tongue falls off.
