Leadfingers - I wasn't being confrontational.

the prodigious RH technique was, as you say, a big bit of the successful george Formby equation.

there used to be a guy called Eric Ilott, who did the folk clubs with banjoleles etc, which he carried round in a sort of sailors cavas sack - and he sung songs about the sea etc.

he was pretty good.

I don't say you have to be a brilliant technician like George Formby. Frequently you get these GF impersoantors who can do all the rolls etc, but are painful to listen to.

I guess there are no EASY instruments - not if you want to play them right.

sorry if I seemed to be argumentative.
