Subject: RE: Naemanson's (Brett) Coming Home Thread
Sorry to have missed ye, Brett - but it sounds like a good time was had by all.

Domestic Management & I are both down with colds (my 3rd of the season so far) which precluded travel.
I won't be able to participate with the 3rd Maine Fife & Drum Corps Sunday either, who are doing a St. Pattie's Day parade down in Lawrence Mass. I loaned out my uniform, "kit", M-1842 musket and knapsack to a new Recruit who has yet to obtain his "issue" so that he can march in stead.

Hopefully will have the voice back by Tuesday, when I've an "Irish" Gig for some St. Pattie's celebrations at a local Senior Center.
They're a great crowd to play for - since it is a "Memory Impaired" Unit (Where my Mom used to live for a while) They don't seem to remember that most of the songs I'm singing are the same stuff I did for 'em the previous Month!

Needless to say, I've been "cramming" my limited repitoire of Irish songs & tunes. Even if I can get away with redundancy, I'd like to give 'em a little fresh material every now and again.

Thanks again Friend Brian, for thinking of me, despite my reclusive tendancies of late; I've gotta get out more... and I miss you guys!

I hope that whatever that "Family" issue was, that it has been satisfactorily resolved by now.
