Lots of nice stuff to reply to. Joybelle, I chose Jack Halyard because I'd been at sea on the James Craig, off Newcastle NSW, in rolling sea conditions and hoisted sail with a gang of noisy folks, using a shanty. I never expected to do such a thing in my life.So I grabbed myself a nautical label. Who's your trainfreak relative, I might be meeting them on one of the railway forums.

Thanks, Charley for the feedback, it's uplifting stuff to hear. My warmest regards to Gordon Bok, he did lovely stuff at Almost Accoustic, the most subtle playing on that glorious twelve string he plays.

As regards Kitty's verandah, I appreciate the suggestion of the chamber pot. A bit of a tough item to model at 1/4inch to the foot, but I'll have a go. I might even be able to set up an immanent eavesdropper situation with a few suitable characters.

Your good health all, Jack Halyard
