Thanks Bebop,

I've had quite a few mails all much appreciated and encouraging me onwards, and which also encourages me to do better in sending thank you notes to other music makers.
A bit different to an experience of a few years back. A magazine asked readers to send cassettes of their work for assessment. Now I would have appreciated some constructive criticsm but the reply I got was "just about ready to perform at an old people's home for the tone deaf...." I didn't think I was quite that bad but that magazine never entered my house again!
