Hey, Man!!!
Got the e-mail...it was so good to hear from you, too.  I will e-mail you privately soon, but wanted to read your post.  I am really sorry to hear about your packing it in, but a man has to make a living at some point in his life.  I think that your price is fair on the York, based on what I have heard about it through the grape vine, and I hope that you get it.  I wish I had the bread for a BAT, but I really need a bitchin' 186 CC like the one you bought from Ted (or like Don's little "unicorn").  What happened to it...sell it for the BAT?  I guess I would have, too.  Anyway, I am REALLY in love with my Alex: it is a really fine horn...what a sound!  Oh, and I confirmed the age.  It was made in 1958.
Been married for almost two years now.  She is our third hornist.  Teaching one day per week and playing full-time, together we are pulling in enough to buy a house...but our credit is a bit sketchy.  So we rent.  Not too bad, however.  How is your new game?  Take care; I will e-mail you soon.
Later!!
Wade
