Nicely done, Hook!

I had begun this one myself. :) I learned the chords, and so I know this was not an easy one to do (not that the chords are especially difficult, but like so many XTC songs, there are so many of them). Amazed that you were able to finish this in half an hour.

Simple on!

Excellant. Your voice reminds me of Elvis Costello on this. Great stuff

Very cool Bro. Just wondering how you manage to remember so many tracks - I forget things half way through tunes, and that's just chords - let alone the lyrics. Am amazed :-)
