extatic!! Thrilled! Over the frippin' moon!!

guitar,

(one

>in a program which would send a keyboard here or there, and it just went
>where it was told. I was thrilled. Well, not just thrilled...
>
>This morning I actually literally jumped for joy. I was throwing fists in
>the air with passion and excitement, shouting "YES!!!".

>I since discovered a couple of minor hickups in the realm of level discrepencies,,

>Things are going swimmingly. Wonderfully. Ab
