mick PS. i am going to whiby so i will see yoo there, i went last year it was really nice, i saw raggytash at mrs ducks barber queue, mrs duck said i looked miseruble and not talking to her and not having any dinner, but this is because i felt really shit , from having to many bears the night before.we dont see yoo at The tAp & spile anymore, it used to be a good session there, but it is a bit shit now, 9not many peepol going), i told gordon the bass about it, he went and i asked him if he like it, he said "it was a bit shit, because not many peepol there". I think mudcat will be vert quiet at whitby time because all the peepol will be at whitby, yoo can get them portable computers now, 9they are called liptops) but they are really expensive 9about a thousand quid!) probably a big rip off. John the smallpipes-you are, welcome to play my instrument any time you like, i lent my whislte to Willa as well. I still thinking aboot getting one of them irish drums, i dont know yet.john
