Bert and Mudlark, I was going to make Rick's offer, though getting two hours of instruction from him is a way better deal than getting it from me(except maybe on the theory--I stuck with the theory thread he started, and he bailed out!)

For anyone else who is in doubt about what we have to say here, think about this: listen to the nay-sayers and what does it get you? It sure won't make you a better player--
