For a FOE masterclass listen to the inimitable Tony Hall... :-)

I've seen skilled box players crying into their beer when they hear the last time though... :-(

Brilliant - I've been wanting to learn this, and your video is so easy to follow! Thank you very much.

I've certainly cried into my beer over Tony's arrangement, both from joy and my own inadequacy.
