Hey, Art, my first time through the thread I missed your post (and Rick's response)--as I was reading down the thread I got to the point where I had formulated about what I wanted to say and wanted to get it down before I forgot it, so scrolled quickly to the end to post. Luckily I found your posting when I came back to check the thread today. It's good to hear from you--do I take it from your message that you are still able to play the banjo some? I really love your frailing on the disk--as I think I have mentioned in the threads on several occasions.

And McGrath--we New Worlders are still stuck on the feet and inches and fractions thereof--wrenches are available in both inch and metric sizes, but drills--unless they are imported--are mostly fractions.

And finally, Bonnie, forgive me for not greeting you above, too--I was planning to respond directly to your email which sent me to this thread in the first place (which I finally got around to doing).

Love, peace, and health to all, along with the music to make it happen,
