Erm, Thanks, guys. Am a little embarrassed, and a little humbled by the reviews but, somehow, am not surprised... The guitar is a beautiful, incredibly adaptable instrument and there are LOADS of great impassioned tunes out there.
I experimented a little, but was aware of my surroundings. Steve was very brave to let Mariachi loose on his punters , and I think it paid off for him.
Anyway...

Stoke Bloke said, rather generously, that something was born... I truly hope so.
