Thanks John, found it at Document. GC's complete works, which is great, as, inspired by Harry L's presence at PT last year, I acquired a nice twelve string and have been looking for other pickers (as opposed to sliders, ala Barbecue Bob) besides BWMcT and HL, to study. Any other's, off the top of your head?
All for now.

: Hi John,
