Good Grief, The godfather of flatpicking!!! Hi Rog, strange aint it, we bounce messages all over the world, to talk to someone in the same town that we know!!!!! If you know whence the mad one went , then ok, but I heard rumours that he had some probs, and sort of went away. I dont know if he's coherent enough to remember from what I've been told as well!!! Ah well nothing changes! Hann't been out much last few months, one dissaster after another, but I'll no doubt see you soon and I'll explain. By thr way, are you luthering at all, or do you know a good one? My trusty 20 yr old sigma needs a fret job. If you want to e-mail me direct then try: spike@hgate1.freeserve.co.uk Cheers Roger
