PS I meant to mention that I never met Rick personally -- I "met" him through Mudcat when I joined in early 2003. Unfortunately he was not with us long after that (physically, anyway), but in that short time, through his influence and informative posts here, my guitar playing changed permanently for the better and so did a few of my own techniques as a music teacher. And I think it's wonderful that through Mudcat, Rick continues to influence my little students in positive ways!

And I also meant to say that no matter how much CH seems to enjoy bugging me and putting down my efforts here, I forgive and forget (when my efforts to ignore fail!) and will always be grateful to him for helping me pick out my wonderful Seagull guitar. As well as for the many, many opportunities to practice tolerance, patience, good humour and peaceful online skills. So thank you again Clinton -- you're wonderful too!
