This started up while I was commenting something else... initially I was going to stop it, but something dragged me in... I was over halfway through before I realised I'd stopped typing!

This video/improv event you mention. Where is this event located? This song isn't playing. The video is working. 100% great!

I hope you can see the above picture - I scored a 15 chord autoharp zither for $42 on ebay. 4 old guitar strings later (I save them... just in case :-) and a tuning against an organ patch she is working nicely again. Can't wait to show Emily…
