I echo Chuck's appreciation of this forum and all those who contribute. I'm an amateur musician and I carefully plan all the pieces I play and save settings in panel memories. To give you an idea of how much this forum (and Alec's book) has contributed to my playing skills, I am almost embarrassed when I look at the settings I was using a year ago. My arrangements back then seem so thin compared to what I am doing now. The problem is, I find it obligatory to go back over past arrangements and fix them up! At this time of year that means my Christmas numbers.

Thanks, all. I am continuing to learn a lot.

btw, don't light those candles in Queensland, Australia - we have a total fire ban in force due to recent high temperatures (we are coming in to summer) and a serious lack of rainfall.
