03 Jul 06 - 12:59 PM (#1774843) Subject: RE: TONY THE DAGO From: greg stephens This ties in with my discussion thread about acoustic music. This thread is just heavily amplified. On the point at issue, sorry, I dont know Tony the Dago (or TONY THE DAGO). You have to watch out for shift key etiquette hear. I remember getting criticised because I joined up as greg stephens, and not Greg Stephens. I just wasnt used to keyboards, and never really bothered pressing that thing. Apparently it irritate some people. |

Stu, eventually someone will answer your question. I can contribute "When Tony Verdi Plays the Hurdy-Gurdy," but not the one you want. |
