I failed to realize the pedal would "clunk" on the keybed with enthusiastic use, which George pointed out to me in his notes. I wrapped it with a large rubber band, the pedal itself, creating a small stop but still allowing the pedal to shift the action/hammers to newer unused felt. He wasn't so bad considering the stories I'd heard about him being demanding and he wears socks onstage now, still no shoes. Mike -- The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
