"zero"I tried to add my congratulations, 2 melnetters got in while I was typing. Bet there's several more already.

I can only say that Lester has become more and more like Ulysses as this epic journey has ran its course. Someone should write an poem about it, I suspect a couple of our happy band might do just that ;)

A truly amazing contribution to the melodeon world and a wonderful resource for all who play this instrument both now and in years to come.  Incredibly well done Lester - we even got a smile at the end!!  Now..............rest!

The scale of the task requires nothing less than a ballad.  A limerick would not get close.

Well done Lester, enjoy your well deserved rest. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been inspired by your playing. Many times during this year I've seen you playing a tune and made up my mind to learn it. Or having heard a tune I'd find it on your site to see how Lester plays it. Many many thanks.
