My thanks too Norman.

Between gigs in summer, I mow 13 acres of pasture with a 1972 Kubota  
Tractor and a 6 foot Woods Rotary Mower. Very noisy 8 hour job. So I  
wear those noise canceling headphones the article (and book) mention.

Sometimes I wish there was a way to lower the noise level of playing  
in a jazz band a foot in front of the drummer and the guitar  
amplifier, yet still hear the changes. <grin>

WOT!!!!!
