Pete, I'm going to have to rename you: "Mad Tom"! You obviously know your Halliard Broadsides.
      No, bedlam it wasn't & we only spent half an hour chatting & drinking tea before we got down to work. A scheduled three hour session had to be curtailed due to a very sore bunch of left-hand fingers, but we did succeed in getting a couple of choruses 'in the can'. Not folk music...my friends are writing m.o.r. ballads (we believe that there is still a market for melody & intelligent lyrics). The sort of songs that singers like Adele could do a really good job with. Next session, next week...can't wait!
            Trusting that all is well with everyone,
                                                                     With Love,
                                                                                     Nigel.
