Thanks, so much Martha, for the references.  We are in North Carolina b
aby sitting for a daughter, and I am limping along on a borrowed compueter
for the Internet.  For some reason, my new VISTA WINDOWS laptop does not
connect to the internet here.

So when we get home, I'll follow up on the references.  It is so exciting
finding some real references.  I have just about pushed the single
sighting of a trumpet mouthpiece to the maximum!!!
