Hi Pat,

To someone who is just starting out, that is just SUCH good advice. Many years ago I taught this guy to play guitar until
he was good enough to perform. He was offered a place in a band and it was only when he got to the first rehearsal that he realised
he didn't have a strap. Someone lent him a strap and then he discovered that he couldn't play standing up! I've also seen people who've
rehearsed without a mic, have problems when they can't look at their hands and keep on-mic at the same time.

Hope the gigs are going well. Do you still find time to animate?

Cheers, ROG.
