Helps a lot, thanks. I'll chew on it some more and try a rewrite. One of the hardest things for me to describe is music, because I have no real background with it. I'll have to look around for some ocarina music and listen to it until I get a real feel for it. I chose an ocarina, by the way, because it can be made of the earth (ceramics) and was used by the ancients (of virtually every culture). jon
