Hi Michel,
What a nice alluring name! Nicer then Mike!
You make it all sound so easy? Copy and Paste?
I get Emails from friends everyday with q marks asking whats this all about! I do nearly bust my gut laughing,at what i send them sometimes Dont ask how i manage This I just do.
I have tried with the mouse and controls, But one day it will work out. Now i can organize huge parties but cannot copy and paste!

Goodnight to you Patrick jacques.

Yes! I think like every other walk in life, The most expensive  Guitar will not make the best player! It might make them feel good! I have friends who can pick up the cheapest of guitars, and sound like " John Martyn" They are just excellent musicians,
