Decorah, Iowa was at -40 degrees this morning. I did not want to know what the wind chill was. I fell the the warmth moving in, it is only a -14 degrees right now. I wonder if the soundboards are drying out a little. More tunings down the line.

It means that there will be greater fluctuations between the extremes. Which is kinda what we're seeing right now. These are some of the coldest days in decades. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jim Alfredson Musician / Tuner www.organissimo.org

If any nudist colonies are religious, they are sure to turn into atheists in the wintertime. Well, I'm glad we went to NAMM just in time. It was 82 and sunny today. Staying here through Monday, by then Southern Florida should have warmed up again. Was taking to the folks from Jansen today, they said it was 18 degrees in WI today (without the wind chill factor). - Frank B.
