G'day Alexis,

I remember that one ... with the "garage rock bands" of my youth.

The one who was doing best with his 5/- per week, mail order guitar course slid into "Lead Guitar" position.

The next smartest, musically, managed to get the "Rhythm Guitar" slot.

The next one down the tree was held to be safe enough on "Bass Guitar" ... and ...

The bloke who couldn't tell a crotchet from a squashed tadpole (in music theory ... or practice!), by default, got to control the rhythm of the whole group! (Drummers unite: The Musicians' Labourers Union)

Regard(les)s,

Bob Bolton
