Hey -- that's exactly why my tip was posted publicly, and I appreciated reading your tip concerning the alternate sounds a piano can make. Yes, I too like strumming the strings and calling it "Monster Music." Take that one a step further by pressing down the sustain pedal and having the kids "call" the piano, then listening to the echoes come back from the strings. One of these years, I'd like to hold down the sustain pedal during a good crash of real thunder and hearing what comes back from the piano .... Tip for the day ... think like a kid to keep the kid within you alive, well, and laughing. ZR! RPT Ann Arbor diskladame@provide.net
