You have to end the lines with the letter "br" between angle brackets. Forgot.

Oh, admit it, Jim--I bet you already had that one done up for a .SIG or something.

Not, mind you, that it's not one of the more creative ASCII grafx I've seen lately. Nice job.

Still trying to figure out an ASCII representation of an Ovation,

Thanks, Amos, for the first laugh I've had in several weeks! I'm not courageous enough to try an icon of my own, but I did get a genuine kick out of your attempts! And Jim's hammered dulcimer was great,too, as was the slightly disheveled bass from Scotsbard. So, thanks for the thread, Easy Rider. Music content appreciated!

I've added preformat commands before <pre> and after </pre> the emoticons that needed 'em to fix alignment. Hope you guys don't mind.
