   So is she at least reconsidering and bring her attitude up to date?   
      
   And how much going over that 100 tune collection does it take? Or is it all   
   from memory?

   Wow, that was some time ago now. I've been busy with church songs and my   
   Soulmate took me out to one of his favorite restaurants for my birthday,   
   YUMMY, the Mexican food, and the company ;)   
      
   But first he took me to a used gear store to look at an enormous On Stage   
   brand 2 tier keyboard stand...must have weighed around 20lbs...and for 80   
   bucks, a good deal, considering that it could have easily held 2 Rhodes 88s,   
   or a Rhodes 88 and a genuine Hammond B3 without the legs, and with plenty of   
   weight to spare for an aggressive player's wild moves! I've never seen such   
   a monster stand before! But it was waaaaaaaaaay tooooooooo much overkill for   
   me to use, and especially carry, so I passed on it for something MUCH   
   lighter which I've yet to find.
