Subject: RE: Big Mick's Conklin Ceili Band CD release
Well Mick, I liked it just fine. The absolute least I could say is this. This recording was done by a group who obviously loved and respected the music that was performed. I really liked the hammered dulcimer on The Ballad of St Anne's Reel. ( The same song is done far better on my bands CD "Finally" found at WWW.theflyingcolumn.com but that is only opinion). For me the high light of this recording happened last September when we sat in the practice room at Elderly instruments and you sang "Famine Road" to me on my soon to be new guitar. And I played "Photographs" for you, a song that was to be on our CD.

I have given the CD to my friend Bob Welch to play on his Irish Radio Show this coming Sunday. Bob gives it high marks as well.

Don
