Mike, yeah FUN SONG! . . . Highway Patrol is among my Junior Brown penned favorites as well, and I've even added this one to my performance repetoire now, and receiving enthusiastic audience response.

Nigel, yes, I especially appreciate the way Brown is able to so smoothly go back and forth to interweave his 6 string and lap steel playing within a single song and/or medley.

Hi Tony, glad you enjoyed those spontaneous snapped pics and vid clips. I love the ultra pocketable portable convenience the Canon Elph series provides, allowing one to keep it slipped in your pocket at all times to capture pics and vids at a moments notice. That said, because the SD500 is several years old now, I believe there are far improved ultra portable sub compact cameras (+ vid) out there now. Can you (or anyone else recommend an upgrade to the SD500 which offer substantial improvements in both still & VID quality, yet still compact with similar zoom features?

Thanks,

Scott
