Well - how good of you all to say such nice things! Thank you very much - it's really appreciated.

The tenor guitar - or, at least, the one I have, (which was made for me by Ian Chisholm) is a very expressive instrument for melody lines. It lends itself to vibrato and can "sing" if played properly. I like playing a mixture of things on it - ranging from folk tunes such as jigs and hornpipes, to 1930s jazz and to some of the stuff written by Charles Trenet.

So, perhaps a little Trenet for this morning. Have your berets, coffee, Gaulloises - and perhaps a spot of cognac - at the ready...

Boum
