Topdown is correct. You have to enter your old one before you can change it to something easier to remember, it should be straightforward.

However if you are still having problems write to me privately through the link inder my Username and we will sort it out for you.

Thanks guys and gals so far they day has been good and fairly musical. I have been coaching 3 girls (The Angels, 17, 15 and 14) who are forming a band and then been to the Algarve Rock Choir this evening which I help run with my friend Howard where I both play guitar and sing. Just arrived in home, fed the cats and dog and can now relax.

I am having my party on Saturday at my favourite restaurant although I am sharing it with a student Tatiana who is 12 today. I have invited my close friends and all my students but I have made it a 'Sing For Your Supper' party for the youngsters. Their parents have booked themselves table so they can see what their children are doing. Normally Howard and/or I would play along with them to help them out but, as this is an informal gig, I am letting them do it themselves. Generally each student will perform two numbers and there will be two other students playing and singing along, so I hope it works out OK. Also as they are mainly Portuguese and my friends are mainly English I have been coaching them to introduce themselves and their songs in both Portuguese and English. The stars of the show will be 'The Angels' who will close the evening with 10 songs.

I will be the sound engineer and lager taster.

Oh, in case you are wondering, today I am 35 (with 30 years experience).

Hi Toots,

You were missed, and I am pleased that it was only an Internet access problem. Take care and keep in touch when you can.

Finger picking, or any other kind of picking (including lead playing) for that matter, I always anchor my hand as I find it gives greater control. However, as I need all fingers for picking, I will not waste one for an anchor but I have the heel/wrist of my hand pressed against the bridge.

I too think that a phone should be a phone and not have grand ideas about being something else. I invariably call to reply to a text and the camera is an utter waste of time - no viewfinder or zoom, only the stupid screen to see what you are taking - rubbish.

Ed I know where you are coming from. Manufacturers make things so that they cannot be repaired only replaced. They want a 'throwaway society' as there is more profit for them that way.

Welcome to Chordie Desi.,

There is no need to be isolated as you can always get on Skype and join in one of the sessions, time difference permitting of course.

Welcome to Chordie Jethro,

I escaped from the UK 7 years ago and it is the best thing I have ever done. Wishing you all the best in your adventure 'down under'.

I remember him well, his 'Play In A Day' book and his numerous TV appearances.

Depending on the time, I will do my best to participate.

Here are the details of the punishment "Hanged, drawn and quartered": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanged,_dr … _quartered

None too pleasant.

The name and the price are unimportant in my opinion. If it plays and sounds good, it is good. My 12er is a pre-owned, 70's, Italian made, Melody which came in the shop at much less than yours and, as it happens, we have an Ovation 12er in at the moment which costs 10 times more than mine but I much prefer mine.

Do let us know how 'the trout' gets on with it.

Without seeing the wording of the e-mail you received it is difficult to be sure. Apart from Jeff's comments the other thing that comes to mind is that if you have subscribed to a thread you should get a message if there has been a new post added to it.

Please copy and paste the message you received so we can try and get to the bottom of it.
