Ah, yes. Words of wisdom, pard. I'd expect no less from the author of "Beyond the Cascade", a phantasmagorical adventure tale of deep spiritual awakening.

But you're visiting upstate New York? Well, that's just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Canadian border and southern Ontario. I can't fathom why you don't rush up to Orillia for a few days. After all, I have 2 extra bedrooms here, some really neat guitars, a stuffed monkey, and some song circles and stuff to go to, plus I'm doing a 2-hour gig a week from today in Barrie, Ontario. Sheesh. How could you NOT come here under such propitious circumstances?!? ;-D
