Thanks, Bill. I like "excellent," but "so-so"? Also, see my reply to Ken
Wolman. What mail-order house or Internet dealer will allow me to send the
two back that I don't like?

To: Ted Casher. Many thanks for the "heads-up" on the Rayburn Music
removal sale. I'll have to wait to the end of the DNC, if that's not too
late. Otherwise, they're likely to stop me and insist on inspecting the
case ... (Hmmm. Looks like some kind of Mid-Eastern instrument. Do you
have your passport with you?) Might end up in Guantanamo ...

>>If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!<<

Yep.

P.S.: My apologies to those of you who have long since become bored with
the "what instrument should I buy, is this a good one?" queries. I did
search the list for FAQs (there are none) and an Archive (is there one
that's accessible?). I'm new here, and I hope you'll let me stay a while.
