Catch up great,Sean, but I usually tape things ah really want to see ( Virgin box). Taped Lonnie TV thing, will watch later today.Bristol tape sounds good. His guitarist originally a jazz guy, I think. His playing with Lonnie outstanding!

Welcome, Simon, ma man. You can play just using G and D, or throw a quick C in a split bar with G in chorus :)
