Kevin,

Thanks for the quick turnaround. We do not get the error message any 
more, but it doesn't do anything.   I type the name of a song in the 
search box, and press Search, but nothing happens. I don't hear the disk 
running on the Disklavier.   I have checked and the disklavier is 
responding to its remote.   I think it may be something simple that we 
don't understand.  Do we have to do anything special with the postgresql 
jar file?  The  DLRC is telling me that the  Postgres sql driver is not 
in the Classpath.  I've tried googling that but have not found anything  
I could understand.
