I need all four fingers and the thumb (yes I use them all for some pieces) trimmed the same length -and neatly, as a nail catching on a string at the wrong moment simply throws the entire rhythem (sp?) of the piece.

'American Pie' is a favourite as well.

You mean the movie or as in all-American apple pie?

Oh, and to clarify a thought re "I'm too cool for words," if a guy really is cool, that's fine, but if he tries too hard, it shows. And it's a sign of a lack of confidence.

"You mean the movie or as in all-American apple pie?"

Actually, I was referencing the song 'American Pie'. The recognizable lyrics are:

"Bye, bye, miss American Pie,
rode my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.
and good old boys were drinking whisky and rye,
singing this'll be the day that I die..
this'll be the day that I die.
