Thanks Smokey, but let's not get too carried away. All kudos to  
Greta--she's a 'real' player. BTW I just found a small clip where she's  contending 
with non-stop playing by 4 guitars in her band (The Freedom dogs of  Jupiter) 
who give her the bare minimum of reduced noise space to play,  yet she 
manages to get heard a bit here and there.
 
 
I'm a mere amateur who doesn't play out and you might give people the wrong 
 idea. My family are commoners and content to be so since us Scots highly  
disdain the very idea of Grand Dutchesses. That conjures up images of rich 
old  ladies with big weird hats and miles of jewelry. I'd settle for being 
considered  lady(like) in boots and jeans, haha. 
 
...but you CAN still toss your coat across puddles for me as  I pass 
nonetheless, Signore Conte di Leone. ;) 
 
kidding!

Uhhhh, why not make her the queen of Queens. I  mean..like right NOW. After 
all, Elizabeth is the Grand Duchess of Long  Island????
