Dear Paul S.,

I do believe I feel a song comin' on ... "I wanna be a mando-idiot, just like my old mother" LOL! Thanks so much for the offer of help, and a PM is on its way to you. I'll check out the Comando list this afternoon. Does this list do a 'digest' format, where they can send you all the messages in one 'bulk' email?

And Congratulations! on the new baby!!! What wonderful news! Give that lil one a big folkie kiss from Auntie Áine, OK?

And I agree that LESSONS would be a great idea. I'm totally self-taught on my guitar (and believe me, I'm no 'great roaring hell' either), so I think I'll find a teacher around here. In the meantime, me and Mel Bay are havin' a lot of fun!
