Hi everybody

It's nice to see that even if I couldn't make it to the Woodman on 22.12 others did and one kind soul even booked the next session! I was wondering whether I was going to have to phone Danny in the New Year and sort it out but it seems that I could be redundant which is encouraging because it means that hopefully this session is taking a life of its own.

I should be back in Hertford well before the date and be fit enough to get around under my own steam - if I can persuade my daughter that I can be let loose on my own (I thought I was bossy but this one!!!). Still, I know that it's all in a good cause - she's suddenly realised that being separated by 100 miles can lead to complications when things go haywire - so I'm letting her call the shots for the moment. Not for too much longer though!

I hope you all had a good Christmas and wish you all the best for 2004 with lots of sessions to look forward to. I'm really missing the music, and all my friends at the moment and will be glad to be back home as soon as possible.
