I decided to stick with the original. Maybe I shall frame that note and label as a memory of the great man! We shall miss getting a Christmas card from John and Maureen. John was indeed a pioneer and the first and probably last of his kind. The last time I actually saw John was when he attended my first wedding in 1970.

I haven't seen John for years but we're in contact. He made me a guitar years ago that is still in use. He is threatening to make me another at the moment. Says he's still got some of the same wood! Wood .. Now there's a thing. Different properties. I think that [[Brazil]]ian [[Rosewood]] is better than Indian for guitar making. I'm back playing my old Bailey now. It has its faults, like it's difficult to tune the B string!, and it doesn't strum as well as it picks. Nevertheless, it reminds me of 'Flat Baroque & Berserk' every time I play it.

They have an event coming up for this weekend, which currently has sources available on it. Please have a look on this link for proof - http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ycn-10569761, as you can see it is from Yahoo Sports, which should show you that it has got the attention of a major online sports writing source. You would find many articles on UCMMA, or Cage Rage UK as they liked to be known as now (the people behind them used to run the original [[Cage Rage]]), especially their next event, UCMMA 25. Their other event can also be found just as easily. I have got the original UCMMA page in my sandbox right now, but it is currently incomplete, so once it is done, I will let you all know, and then I will take opinions on how to improve it even more and then we will get it back on it's own page, permanently.
