Grease from the nose or forehead

Thank You thank you

I just did it to a cd that I got from the library. American Soldier, by Gen. Tommy Franks, It is the first cd I tried to copy and it has a skip in track 5. I thought all was lost. I tried copying it again and again. Then I read this note. I tried the grease on my nose and it fixed the skip. So I will re-copy this disc.

Thanks Again
Jim
