Hi Michael,

 ML> and the notes were tiny, and I spent a fair percentage
 ML> of my pay on enlarged Xeroxes at sometimes up to $2
 ML> a page.
 RH> That can get expensive, fast! No place for cheap copies nearby?

 ML> We're talking 11x17 copies, a specialty item even now, in a
 ML> day when few places had the capability for more than 9x12-ish.

OK, I see why it was so expensive.

 ML> I suppose I could have carefully laid out sideways 8x11s and
 ML> taped them together, but do you know what a pain that is with
 ML> sheet music, which threatens to fall down by itself anyway?

I've seen it done and seen its downfall(s).


 RH> sewing patterns are in 2 or 3 languages so there's a lot of paper used
 RH> to write up instructions that I can't use. Judicious use of a copier
 RH> condenses all the English instructions to one or 2 sheets of paper.

 ML> And here no doubt the pages are printed on both sides, so
 ML> no chance to cut and paste.

Bingo!

 ML> useful in a teaching setting as well, as the music can be
 ML> projected to the audience at the same time as the musicians
 ML> are reading it.
 RH> Or in  basic piano (or other) class so everybody can be on the same
 RH> note. (G)

 ML> The same phrase, anyhow. I was not a music major, by the
 ML> way, because there would have been no way I could have
 ML> passed basic piano.

I couldn't even pass remedial piano--my fingers won't stretch that far.

 RH> I've often commented that he only time I'll do a solo is in sign
 RH> language--and done some that way. OTOH, Steve has done solos in
 RH> various churchs we've been members of.

 ML> Tenor, I presume?

Originally, now baritone (but usually has to go with bass if no baritone
line written).


 ML> Cod Liver Salad
 RH> Seems it would give you a case of horribly bad breath.

 ML> That's what bread is for, followed by a good gargle of
 ML> Listerine.

And something to counteract fishy tasting burps.

 -=> Ruth Haffly said to Burton Ford <=-

 BF> Our local Wegmans carries Archway cookies.  They is good.
 RH> Have to let Michael know so he can check them out.

 ML> Indeed he now knows.

And he will check them out next time he's in NY?

 ML> Looked for a cod liver cookie recipe, but this is the
 ML> closest I could get:

 ML> Cod liver pate 1
 ML> categories: Norwegian, fish, starter
 ML> servings: 8

 ML> 500 g fresh and fatty cod liver
 ML> 1 onion
 ML> 1 sm bn fresh thyme
 ML> black pepper to taste
 ML> 5 g salt
 ML> 1 dl bread crumbs or 2 sl stale white bread
 ML> 1 egg

I'll let you have my share of it.
