Dear Peg,

Thanks! I've been wondering what the group would sound like without Karan. But, I've heard Deirdre before, so now I'm looking forward to getting the new CD. Seems like I heard something about Karan beginning work on another solo CD a while back. Have you heard anything about it?

There's also a great rendition of Ar Bruach na Carraige Báine on the CD entitled Ór - The Golden Age of Traditional Irish Music & Song [Gael-Linn/Hummingbird Records - GLHCD 9001]. I don't know how old the disc is - a friend of mine brought back from Dublin for me this past spring.

Dear Rich,
