Hi George,
First of all, I'm pleased that the Gemini III reached you safe and sound - it's always a nerve-wracking time, waiting to hear positive news from way across the pond, not forgetting the other 2,500 miles across country !!
Glad the unit proves ok, too. I am delighted, as you can imagine.
Many, many thanks for your favourable response and comments.
If you can post some sound files later, I'd certainly be interested.
By the way, I visited your band's website, and took a listen to the clip of "Apache".
As you can imagine, I'm something of a purist when it comes to The Shadows' stuff, but your interpretation is extremely pleasant on the ear, and the creative approach can't be faulted. I'd love to hear the full track, as would many of my like-minded buddies over here, to be sure.
There are many poor emulations of the original, but your band's refreshing, inventive approach to that (very !!) old number really does give it a whole new dimension.
Right, I'll stop now before this becomes a mutual admiration society !!
Thanks again for your comments and good wishes - extremely welcome.
David.
