		However, whatever your musical tastes, basically if you enjoy the likes of Martin Taylor, or just love the sound of the guitar well played then you just know the quartet can't put a finger wrong.
		If you don't, then keep well away – but then, fair dos, you wouldn't give it a second glance if guitars weren't your bag would you?… A fait accompli in both senses – an accomplished feat and a foregone conclusion (if ever there was one!).

		I heard Jerry Falwell on his "Old Time Gospel Hour" tell an estimated 20,000,000 viewers that only those people who accept Jesus Christ as their savior will go to heaven, and that all others will roast for an eternity in hell.
		With all respect to Falwell and his interpretation of scripture, I don't believe that my spending eternity impaled on a spit is necessarily a fait accompli.
		No, I think God placed Christians and Jews and Buddhists and Moslems and other religions on this earth (the Encyclopedia of American Religions lists 1,200 practicing religions in this country alone); I think God placed them here because He wanted them here.
