Rob - time for another "watch and learn" session this coming Sunday... :-) We'll be with you!

Thanks for the kind words, John. I rarely offer advice to performers at sessions unless I'm asked for it. My fingers (or tongue, if you will) were burned some years ago when, in a floor spot at a folk club, a chap played "Buck Dancer's Dream" in a fairly hit and miss way. Chatting to him in the interval I said, casually, "That version of "Nuck Dancer's Dream is coming along nicely - you'll soon get it."

To which he replied, in a rather frosty voice, "It's fine right now." I could have sunk through the floor... Just shows how the foot will creep inexorably into the mouth if it's wide enough.
