Thanks again for all the input. I'll try to be a good student. Already tried the green candle as stated above but it made the house smell really bad and the wife made me toss it.
Tommee, glad to hear that you are so close, relatively speaking. I dont think I will be ready for an accordion jam in the near future but would be thrilled to be able to hear you play and could probably do some guitar backup if it was ok. Will hook up on the email.
