Got another phone call, today! She has a sore throat when speaking but it seems fine while singing/performing, so..she's got all kinds of remedies and it staying off the speaking voice for a bit.

She said they have had great reviews, one by a Colin Murphy(?) which I cannot seem to find online, which mentioned her twice, when it is usual just to get one mention, if a'tall, as she'd say. Maybe someone who knows the newspapers over there better than I, could find it. They are in Merriman's native area now, at Feakle.

The people have been wonderful, remembering her and her Other Half, whom she met over there. They are also remembering that she's the woman who wrote "Sweet Ballyvaughn" a song Sean recorded which is absolutely BEE-YOU-TEE-FULL and well known.

Anyway, she asked me to say "Hello" to all of you and she misses us.
