Gunny & Larry,
Waht about a drum duet? The only musical instruments I can play are a
record player, a tape played, and now I have learnt another, a CD player.
Congratulations Gunny on the balance, I'm still working on that one, some
days are diamonds where-as others are plain old stones, but I haven't fallen
off the rider mower or the electric scooter yet. Must be something in
that. As others have said :Go For It".
