Hi again gang,     First, thanks again for such a wonderful forum being available! And thanks to Ms Renee for being so kind, patient, and gracious. And to Buddy for the awesome recomendations, and for his patience as well. Cant wait to see the John Cohen film.     And if I may, let me suggest a T.V. show that is available on the Dish Network on a channel called "RFD TV". It is called "Reno's Old Time Bluegrass Festival". They have had some great profiles of various artists old and young, and they have live performances in the studio after interviewing the performers. Good stuff.     And also, please gang, I beg of you to be patient with those who have not embraced the subtleties of civilized conversation and proper social skills:):):):):) I really believe that people like those who are participating here are best able to teach and lead by example, and that maybe someone who is not being as polite or mannered as they should be may be coerced by gentle nature towards proper behaviour. Maybe instead of banishment, a constant bombardment of properly presented topic and gentle and subtle instruction by the elders present here is the best course. A friend of mine who is an elder in his church always says of the problem folks who show up from time to time in his congregation "Lets educate of convert em instead of getting rid of em!" And finally, my religion teaches that anxiety, stress, anger, all these types of emotions are decisions we make, and not inevitably unavoidable. When a situation presents itself that could anger one, they could just as easily choose to view it as an opportunity to learn or teach rather than an opportunity to get mad.      Harry
