Rob - e-mail me when you're back in Northern Illinois and I'll be glad to sit and pick a while if you'd like.

Whistle Stop is right on the money. I have three boys who listen to Dave Mathews, Beastie Boys, They Might Be Giants and occasionally to me and my music. I like the stuff they like and it has helped (I hope) keep me from getting stuck in the same old box I arrived in. My niece and nephews in Toronto have also given me a taste of the Cape Breton music that is absolutely fabulous. The kids are everywhere - so is the music - you just have to be willing to open your ears.
