Easy there, LeeJ, he lives on the West Coast, ya know, they don't rise and shine as early as the rest of us on this continent:-)

I can tell you, he is mostly Irish and while working at the Center, we had all kinds of music, including Masters of the Steel String Guitar, Roy Book Binder, Altan, Queen Ida and her Zydeco Band, oh, and he has a GREAT library. Like a lot of us, I'll think he'll fit right in, even if it is on an infrequent basis; his work keeps him traveling a LOT. It's pretty exciting, he even had to host a bunch of older, wealthy patronesses of good causes on a whitewater raft trip. Ed, my friends, has an adventurous spirit!

Thanks to you all. Keep 'em coming, we'll get him in here, no doubt!
