Jed, I hear you loud and clear! Our regular St Patrick's Day gig just fell through (the club owner didn't want to cancel his regular Monday night hip-hop karaoke nightmare) and I've spent the last five days on the phone, scrambling to get a booking at this short notice.

So far no luck... it may be the first St Pat's in ten years this Celtic band doesn't play!

That said, I like Bev&Jerry's Rule #1. It's the persistence thing that wears me down...

Cheers,
Michael
