Hi Ian

Sounds like I missed a good session. I'm just recovering from a major operation - undertaken as an emergency with three day's notice and am staying with my daughter in Newark unitl I'm fit to look after myself. I really have missed the various sessions and am very disappointed not to have been in Hertford this week but things weren't meant to turn out that way. Waht laid you out?

I'm hoping to be back for the next session but it all depends on the rate of recovery. I've brought a lot of CDs up with me to trawl for new songs when I feel a bit brighter and the guitar's here as well to try and get back to practice, although I don't know that I'll ever be happy about using it publicly.

Anyway, have a good Christmas everyone and all the best for the New Year.
