thanks Jonathon, I did quickly go look at wiki but it's too early and
I seem to get less and less sleep so I must take it back up later.

Just for the record I do have a couple of Beduin CDs and a couple of
Alan Davey CD's which are all basically great IMO, I am simply missing
a ton of his material now.
thanks for the Cybertip
NOTED!!
