Thanks for replying Martin. in the event I did Freight Train which I always associated with Pete and the 12 string.

Sorry if I sounded peevish and ratty. you don't rate Pete seeger. i guess that's alright.

who knows, perhaps he doesn't speak well of you.

we've all got our blind spots. I know its difficult, but i think it as well to keep quiet about them. we offend people when we see the red mist. its so easy to do on this site.

I always used to think that the creative process was as much about what you reject and what repels you, as what it is that turns you on.

as you get older, that truth gets increasingly hard to handle. negative feelings get voiced about stuff and people who have meant something to you, and the world seems increasingly impertinent and abrasive.

keep strumming, Pete would want that - or perhaps not - who knows!
