Thanks but it will be a few months before I am at a level that I will
be willing to publish to groups any multi-track.
Maybe if I get invited to your multi-track Yuba pass event this
comming year. But that will be hard as timing is not as good as
prior years. I expect I will be 5 months unemployed by the time you
have that event.
I wait, work, and will see, what this comming year has in store but
it is looking hard.
