I am alive and well and getting ready to hit the road tomorrow about mid day.

The computer gods have laid a load of aul shite on me again. Computer hard drive crash. I had a wedding picnic to pull off for my oldest daughter that took most of a week and a half, and that set back my getting the 'puter fixed. Parts are ordered and they will be in tomorrow, but I will be on the road heading for the rondezvous with my fellow Beef Brothers, Jed and Paul. And Jeri, who I have plays Sister Sledge to our layabout catter wallerin. Can't wait to see the lovely Heather, Michael, Rick, Steve, and friend Marion, as well as any other 'Catters in the area. And I am fairly breathless in anticipation of hearing what is done on this CD.

FWIW, I am going to be on Acoustic Workshop next Monday. Going to talk about Irish music in the US, do some songs, and maybe talk a bit about the solo project that I am in the very initial planning stages with Paul.

I will post more from T.O. Damn it feels good to be heading to Canada. I just love that place, and it's music.

All the best,

Mick
