Selby,
In my haste I forgot to mention that Geoff sat at his draughting table with a ruler held in his hands the way a piper holds a chanter; this way he could 'finger' the correct 'notes' of a tune (which was audible only in his head) and still appear to casual observers to be working away at a drawing.

Disgusted Guest,
Of course Shiamsa was joking. Nobody who really believes that stuff would subscribe to Mudcat.

Cheers, Rowan
