Hey Del,
Thanks for the kind words.  I have held you and your knowledge of pianos in high esteem from the first time I attended a PTG Convention around 10 years ago (it was the one in Kansas City).  Your warm words meant much to me.

No, I have never been in North Dakota.  I was born in Louisville, KY and spent most of my childhood and youth in Northwest Tennessee, between Union City and Fulton, KY.  I taught school and was a full-time Minister of Music in Southeast Missouri for around 13 years.  The rest of the time has been spent near Martin, TN.

Thanks for asking.
Joy!
Elwood
