I third the motion - I'm not a techie (Not your kind anyway) - but I enjoy 
reading this stuff, and I think it's good info for short harpers. As Norbert 
states - "Perhaps the various harp publications could do more of this sort of 
thing". Well, some of us on this list are publisher types (Harmonica 
Newsletters, etc.) and in a position to do something.

So, If Elliott gives his permisssion - those  of us who are willing, could put 
this in our respective publications. Your blanket approval would reach six 
editors on HARP-L that I can think of off hand. Further, I suggest you submit 
this to Al Eichler at American Harmonica Newsletter.
