thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.

now kurt will finally have his clarinet-b/bass clarinet/alto sax frame.
i was hoping to replace all the springs on that rack [they are in bad
shape, but still workable], but since the dollar is so far down the
toilet i'd need a septic-tank-pump-truck to make them worth anaything,
he'll make do for now. i'll be delivering the frame next weekend, and
drinking A LOT OF BOURBON to celebrate.

did i mention 'thank you'?

smooches,
jeff
