Mick, I'm so thrilled that you east coasters are getting to share in the wonderful musical talents, song lore, warmth, and wit of our own Pacific northwest's David Ingerson.    We shouldn't keep him all to ourselves, after all. David's been going to Ireland annually for a while and it's great that he can share the expansion of his musical trove with the folks on the 'right coast' as well as with those of us on the 'left' one.


Nancy, I want to thank you and others who bring guitars, etc., to share with those of us who don't want to entrust our old Martins, Guilds, Gibsons, etc., to United or any other airline. Being able to use a 00018 with light strings in the concert is infinitely better than trying to play a 3/4 size Ibanez that doesn't want to stay in tune and doesn't feel like my 'baby'.


Rap, was the person who took your yarn away MMario? And did he knit you some socks with it?

Linda,
I do hope you don't have any lasting ailments from that fall on the slick ramp.
You and anyone else who was with you at the time really should report it to the West River powers-that-be if you haven't already. They need to put some non-slip treads on those ramps, because those ramps were so slick in the rain that I'm surprised you were the only one who fell. : )
