Great to hear from you, too, Steve. Yes I am indeed still squeezing the box (and the anglo, nowadays). After only 25 years, I can almost get a tune out of it as well.

Parents both retired now -- my dad ended up having to take ill health retirement (b******s at well-known shipping containers company), but is probably now in better shape than he has been for a long time.

Anyway, I notice you're a guest on these boards, so if you want to drop me an e-mail, I'm on thebutton1936[at]googlemail.com Any spammers to be hunted down like dogs. Ho ho.

I'm currently living in London's picturesque Lewisham district, which appears to be a bit of a traditional music desert -- unless other forum users want to tell me otherwise.
