Hi Barry!

Cool and wet here in Ireland. Everyone tired of hearing about Hoof & Mouth but apprehensive at the same time. It appears they may have it contained in Northern Ireland. The 'hoof' thing has made the rural gigs quiet but... had a magical night in Dublin at a singing club with 100 patrons... and again in Cork City. We are with the South Roscommon Singers tonight and I hope to see Martin Ryan again. Martin came to our Dublin gig. Bonnie arrives tomorrow for a flying visit.

After 7 straight nights afterhours in pubs singing away, I feel almost like joining you in the hospital. Back on March 28th. I'll check in on you then.

All the best, dear friend, Dan
