For everyone who expressed interest in the subject
of shell horns,their history,different types,how to make
them,etc., here is the best site I've found.It was written
at the request of the editor of  ___Experimental Musical
Instruments___  and is quite well researched and docu-
mented.    http://www.furious.com/perfect/shells.html

This goes with the Steve Turre thread  about his Sanctified
Shells jazz ensemble.

For all of you in Florida, I  hope you fare well with Hurricane
Dennis.Same goes for the others along the whole east coast.

Good shelling,
