Rob & Anne-Marie - Thank you again... I`m going to write a comedy song next to balance this out!

Greg - I appreciate your very kind comments.I`ve learn`t alot about singing lately by listening to the performances of contributors to this cool forum...and then relistening to my old heros & thinking "I`ll try that".

David - Thank you!
