Like conversation around a dinner table, the topic has shifted quite a bit from the original subject. I never did anything with valves, but I had amateur attempts at building circuits with transistors that were enormous by today's standards. More often than not, by the time I had finished soldering the transistor it had got too hot and the circuit wouldn't work. So I write computer programs instead, which is better for me. If (yes, IF) I make a mistake in a program I don't have to through away the program, I can just fix it.

Back to Bebop's newsletter - I, too enjoy reading it, but haven't got around to contributing. Last night I played the lounge file attached to the recent newsletter, and was very impressed, Bill. Lovely jazz feel to your playing and you used the style well. Also tried the custom styles from Bert Aarp and Ad Rouw, and found several which I will use. In summary - a great newsletter.

Regards,
Mike
