Hey Jim, yeah believe it or not we even had that show broadcast down here in little old New Zealand. I remember it well. Must admit I never liked the father character, annoyed me for some reason. I do sometimes sign off things as A.L.F!! I guess I will go back over the missing pieces soon and it will be interesting to see how much of it sticks on the second time of learning.

I understand your point of view regarding your proffession being tightly controlled and your wish to have some freedom in your guitar playing. I am an aircraft maintenance engineer and also have to stick firmly to the rules. It would be nice to have the ability to free-style on the guitar. Maybe one day I'll be good enough.

Good luck with your guitar endeavours!!

A.L.F
