I'm going to have a go at playing Fanfare for the common man - Emerson Lake and Palmer - anyone got or can suggest a suitable Technics rhythm for this little beauty?

It's ok - I've found what I'm looking for - Country blues at 154 tempo with everything muted apart from drums and base. With french horns and synth brass combined playing the melody line.

Hi Rog, I'm sure I did a version of this some time ago - I'm in Spain at present (without my KN7000 smile ) so I'll have a look when I get home......

Here in California last week, in Baker which is on the way to Las Vegas, the temperature reached 132 F ... now that is hot. They have a giant thermometer there and tourists were stopping to take photos of it at 132.

Hi Bill
Yes Bill received and many thanks - but my e-mail reply to you was returned yesterday as it could not be delivered for some reason - I've just got back from holiday. I'll listen later today.
