Balance Rail Felt Punching Theory

[Farrell]

Thanks Del. I have only been a member of PTG for two years, so I only have
two years worth of Journals. Guess I'll have to wait for the movie..... No,
wait - didn't I hear rumors of a CDrom version of that movie? Does anyone
know what the latest and greatest is on the availability of the Journal
CDrom?

I see you have an All-Day-Wednesday session reserved in Reno next summer.
Piano Design? Same thing as Small Piano Design that was offered in
Arlington? (I did not attend that one :-( - conflict) I don't remember
whether the Arlington thing was a regular class or an all day thing. Care to
comment on this summer's topic Del?
