[rodgersorgan] Re: Music rack hinges

Thanks for that info. I'll check it out on my 32-c if i ever get the organ 
home and set up. Believe me when I say I hope it doesn't rain anymore 
because my organ is sitting in a wooden box, on a flatbed truck, in the 
middle of a field in Paxton massachusetts. Of course the people I bought it 
from assured me that they wrapped it in plastic before they boxed it up and 
I covered it in thick plastic after it got here...but...I still don't need 
anymore rain.

thank YOU
