   Okay, when is a good time so we do not necessarily have to try to fit it 
into our meetings!  I am in no real rush at the moment.  I still have that 
whole membership thing to get straightened out.

  Geez, no pressure there, is there?  And I suppose there are people who 
have that much free time? :)  There is artifical catgut I am told, so I may 
just have to hit the music stores.

   This is definitely somethinf for down the road, not by February.  Yikes, 
I am just not that focused. :)   I think I can handle the documentation 
though, however there are only two respectable books on the subject.
