I got back from Greece to find a couple of PMs waiting (when I finaly managed to get on to the 'Cat). One was from Steve Parkes alerting me to a modern player for shellac 78s and one from Fat B******d telling me he'd saved a newspaper article on Skiffle that came out while I was away and he has now sent it to me.
Thanks guys, for thinking of me, just a small example of the good side to internet connections (on the day when MSN pulls the plug on chat rooms because of abuse by paedophiles).
