Progress

I’ve changed the format of the music section. It still covers only a short section of my long and varied career, but it’s now a little bit more accessible.
Instead of linking full length tracks, you can now listen to…

Well, the nuts and files finally arrived and I’ve strung the James Bisset 50th Anniversary guitar, opened up the current nut with the files to suit my strings and played it for a while. I’m afraid it makes the old…
