JAB Yes we can discuss HMT. I was there recently to buy an autoharp tuning wire. I didn't notice any change in attitude, but I may be jaded. I'm reminded of the time Leo Kottke dropped by the Alexandria Folklore Center years ago. Kottke picked up a twelve string to look at it, and the manager, I'll withhold the name, asked if Kottke he would like some lessons to learn to play. Kottke ripped off a few licks, the man's jaw dropped when he recognized the playing and the player. He didn't talk that lessons stuff anymore to strangers. HMT ain't learned and I don't care enough to give them a lesson in humility.
