Hi Wookie - sincere thanks and also for your PM about resurrecting my account - both very much appreciated.
Hi Warren - great to make contact again - hope you are keeping well. Barring a passing Heart Attack and a surgeon taking a chain saw to my spine, all is pretty good here! Totally agree about Rose - a fantastic singer and very highly regarded on the UK folk scene; she lives on my little Isle. I was put in contact via a friend - hugely lucky that she said yes! Take your point about the acoustic guitars - an excellent idea. I have been getting a number of requests for my music to be played at various occasions; had a bride walk up the aisle to one of my pieces on the Isle of Skye recently, I opened a major international pop festival back in September with a Blessing (no, not this piece, I mean a Druid Blessing!) and included a part of one of my pieces which had the festival-goers dancing in the Big Top (!) and I have had several requests to play this piece of music at people's funerals (worrying, isn't it?! - I suspect they will love an acoustic guitar version). As for the "bucket", you are absolutely right! Now all I have to do is find a bucket VST!
