+1 for the thanks for all your time and effort you have put into this project. As a relative new comer to music, you have provided me with an amazing resource for learning.

A beverage of your choosing will be waiting for you at Playgroup II  :|glug

Many thanks

Jilly, did he advise you not to learn to play Delilah?   ;)

Don't worry, I'll teach you anyway!!  >:E

Yes, quite an achievement. Quite a few of the tunes are now on my hit list.

Oddly enough, I was listening to a large collection of GUM Morris tunes just the other day...

So I need to thank you twice  :||: :M
