CarolC, I downloaded Bernard's 'Dark Island', and it's a very good example of what sort of musician influences me. He knows what his instrument is capable of and uses every bit of it to benefit the music. I'll never be a fast player on any instrument, but I can hope for 'good'...I can hope for 'expressive'. Bernard, if you're lurking - masterful treatment of that tune!

CarolC, thank you!
