Thanks to all for advice ranging from the practical to the downright poetic. And Rick, thanks for giving Tony my tuner, which I hadn't even missed yet. That's because I was so intimidated hearing you play on Sunday, I have placed my guitars in a beautifully decorated, if somewhat dank, closet-cum-crypt until I see if I bounce back. Turns out it was a Mudcat glitch, I guess. I wasn't getting the whole screen, just the "start new thread" bit. I'm going to go try that big-red-X-at-the-mall thing now. Glad to see you all stay up late. Balladeer
