Spaw, et al,

Agreed and acknowledged, with apologies. We've ALL (I'd have rather done that in italics but I forget how) felt that way at some time here.

I didn't figure it was me who first mentioned virtual-partiality (huh?) but it's one of my favorite subjects. I bumped into someone just a few days ago who said he saw me do a festival workshop about them round about '93ish, and I can say that there was an older gentleman there who had been doing it for decades. There's nothing new under the sun, as my grandmother would say, and we keep reinventing things. I like to think that if I could study ancient stringed instruments full-time I could rediscover lost things, but I'm not sure I'd recognize real invention from any age.

Peace, Mooh.
