First...thanks for the help.

Second...Spaw...I copied your instructions to a file I am keeping handy, so that I can research more efficiently. I did think about doing more or less what you said, but when I have done this in the past, obviously incorrectly in some fashion - which I will figure out as soon as I get time -, I got a zillion threads which didn't seem to be in any order - which I will fig... . I suppose I also should admit that it's not just a time thing. It also has to do with a streak, however small, of pure laziness. My apologies.

Third... Spaw... Why ? Because my two guitars have now belonged to young relatives for over five years. Lonnnggg story, but I've managed to survive, and enjoy, on Hran and whistle. My Hrans have a family crest, so they aren't worth a dime so they didn't get listed under the asset column, although she didn't think they should be left out (that's the short story). For ? Kitchen sessions. Price ? Well, the present budget is $Cdn500 max, so it's GOT to be second hand.

The budget may go up if my business picks up, but I've got the fever and I can't wait any longer. Since one of the lads moved to Seattle, one to Iqaluit, and the other now flies for Air Nova, the Hran just doesn't fill the kitchen too well too often. Last good session with the lads was at Xmas, sans Iqaluit, the best guitarist. The next session is scheduled for early August, but Air Nova can't commit and he's the best vocalist. OK, enough weening for today.

Again, thanks for all your help and I'll let you know how it turns out.
