Stevee T, I knew ya could, I knew ya could.... LOL Success!!! Actually winrar is a great software for anyone wanting to bundle stuff to save space and time.

As you can see Tommy boy has the chops. Now just need to get more of his own stuff to see if he can compose (also, if he can slow down and be somewhat tasty, based on what I am hearing my bet is that he can, the tunes on that Xmas CD are all barnburners!!!!)

Brasciole for Din Din..........hhhhmmmmmmmm good!

A little Cabernet Savignon....voila!

Nummy, Nummy, Nummy, I got luv in my tummy

Joey Baby...you should be roundin the final stretch in the illness stakes!

You'll be back amoung the livin again!

In answer to your compound-radiusquestion:

First, I will assume you know absolutely nothing about "radius".

(even if you do, at least someone out there probably does not).

I believe (?) the radius is smallest at the nut (top of fretboard) and increases at some rate to the largest radius at the bottem of the fretboard (by the body).

Say I took 2 trees; one tree is 12" radius (24" diameter), the other tree is 16" radius (32" diameter).

Then I sliced off a chunk from both trees, top to bottem. naturally the piece with a 16" radius would appear flatter than the 12" radiused board.

The strings are closest together at the nut, so it would be fairly easy to finger all the strings if the fretboard has an extreme (rounder) radius, like 12".

But, the strings are farther apart by the body, so it is easier to finger all the stings if the fretboard radius is flatter, like a 16" radius.

Hope this helps you or anyone else.

Alexandre I'm good thanks bro', I hope you are as well. No new bike, the VFR is away in the garage for 'winter', although more because it needs some money spent on it and it's not a priority this time of year (did I really just say that?) lol ;-) I'm ashamed to say no new songs yet, I've not played 'seriously' since we moved but that is about to change. I thought about you last night as I watched a TV programme on food across Portugal.................. they also mentioned a type of blues music called............ fado ?? or something like that. It seemed that the main dishes (apart from fish) are mostly made from pork. We might becoming over to Portugal for a holiday this year, any advice on where to go ? We'd be bringing the little one so it would be family orientated. How about you ? Are you still busy at work ? Still writing lots ? I must check your site out soon. Take care man.

Re: SupaaDave Michelle.......did you get a chance to read "Dennis the Menace" in the paper today? That is so you....LMAO !!! Dennis tells his mom that "She does'nt have to worry about the fly buzzing around in her bedroom because the big spider took care of it for her"......the look of panic on her face...lol !
