Chaz, Glad you liked my small tribute. I studied under various tutors, finishing with a couple of years with a then concert pianist, before entering the Army (WWII - yes I'm that old). But I must admit that what technique I have is almost entirely the result of having to play every night to earn a living, and some assiduous practice. I am not an academic, purely a playing pro., who learnt his trade the hard way. I have played my way around the world, and I suppose there is no substitute for experience. I appreciate your interest and thanks again for the compliments. Best wishes, Bernard.
