Franklin Pangborn was an actor, primarily of the silent movie era, known for playing uptight, accountant types. Specifically, he played the bank examiner in the W.C. Fields movie "The Bank Dick", my favorite comedy of that era. (I work at a bank, and started out as an auditor, so he is sort of a patron saint. . .) Doug

I can't wait for April! I can't seem to decide on one. I've posted 3 different ones so far today. Better settle on one quick-like!

So I've seen "Fighter Pilot Who Didn't Blow Off His National Guard Service" Avatar.

Whoa - It must be the light that makes it look so red. It's mahogany, right, Michael?
You will be 10 years older, ten years from now, no matter what you do - so go for it!

Thanks.. no, it's rosewood.. it has a reddish cast to it, but not so much as is shown here.

Irving's Centennial D is a gorgeous example. I've seen a few others. I'll add yours to my list of favorite red rosewoods with great grain patterns.

I really *do* need chimpanzee feet for those times when I'm doing the dampers, the soft and the sostenuto all at the same time. I think we need a Barefoot Pianist Club. :p
