Hey T...dont call about viola sdvice (at least dont say, hey I was calling to ask you about this..). If he brings it up then ask away.

Call and just say you were returning his call to cath up, see hows hes doing - yes, sounds fine.

Dont worry too much about the questions, I think the conversation will naturally flow..like last time, but then HE ended up making funny noises and getting a bit nervous, you did brilliantly! But then, you're the one who has been in C, DBing like a Olympic athlete and reading lots of books. You've been doing the work, he probably hasnt, so this give you the "upper hand", dont forget this!!!! You are streets ahead in a sense.

BUT... he is the one that left, so naturally you are nervous. I think, according to DBing and remembering my early phone conversations post bomb, questions are fine (friendly, not probing) and so neutral subjects are fine also - work, friends, hows your Mum etc. I'd concentrate on music/work to begin with, see where the conversation goes (this phonecall or next!) Rome wasnt built in a day...slowly slowly, catchy monkey. Etc.

I cant believe you never heard of Joey Tribiani. There are as yet undiscovered tribes in the Amamzon forest, who know who Joey is and can do the "How you doin'?" with aplomb. :-)

THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP ON MY THREAD !!! Shouting so you know how much I mean it.
