Thanks for all the good wishes...

Carol, I have been visiting the board sporadically for some time now but i dont really have the time to contribute that much anymore...

AT, I did exactly that, I struggled at school with math because of my dyslexia... All my other subjects I did well in but maths was my nemesis... I had to re read every question, until one day when a new lecturer taught me a new way of doing maths... I now look at a math problem and writhe down the answer. It makes the probability of making a mistake with writing down steps so much less. I still got about the same marks, but I was much less frustrated and I did not work nearly as hard...

I have tried recording the stuff I play, although I don't do that nearly enough... I usually learn a new song section by section, but when all else fails I usually play by ear, with PlaneTalk of course, which can or can not be a success, depending on which band I am playing with... Luckily I am never really held to playing a song exactly like the original, except with SIAM, but their songs i know pretty well.

I am changing jobs in the new year so I might not be back in here for a while...

Again thank you for all the good wishes, if I don't see you all in here again before then have a great new year...
