Let me know if you want to play avy bingo with that board of yours sometime
Nice! How's the coverage? I'd hate to have to run ptex so early in the season, and it's a new board...really that's why I haven't hit the hills yet for all that a couple buddies have said ABay has been decent despite so few runs open. I'd be afraid of winning the bingo game...but it's early season now. Warm, too.

...I looked up the tune Chaconne:

Wish I'd been there. Not much time to listen to the music, during the morning rush...probably they'd have better luck on a Saturday afternoon. It didn't take long to realize why I enjoy that piece so much...it is similar in feel and composition to a piobaireachd, and in fact there is an excellent recording of Bonnie Rideout playing "The MacDougal Gathering" on viola, with didgeridoo accompaniment providing a classic, but curiously alien, drone.
