Hi, Rick.......

Just saw a wonderful tour show by the Chieftans. They've picked up some cronies from their recent Nashville stay, added a few more guests, plus some local talent from each place they visit.

Great show, without a doubt the highlight was Matt Molloy's flute solo of "Rites of Man" - totally awesome!

I called you in on this one to ask about Jon Pilatzke, who is in the show with his brother Nathan. Absolutely great step and tap dancing, and Jon's fiddle playing is fantastic. They've apparently cleaned up all the awards in Ontario.

His Toronto-based group is called Quagmyre - no doubt you know of them. This is one of the most talented and entertaining 'strangers' I've seen in a long time.

What do you think?
