Dear Startled: I bet you are the very Ewan McV. who played guitar in my Partickhill flat years ago with Sean Damer, or was it Mick Broderick? Anyway, since then, I've enjoyed your book "One Singer, One Song" immensely. Well compiled, insightful notes.

I'm a Glasgow Scot too and at the moment it 03.15 and is charateristically dreech outside - I'm still up at the moment because I'm jet-lagged and my mind thinks it's still in Maine - unfortunately for my body which is crying out for sleep!! Baz - the ships are coming to my neck of the woods next year, if you ever get the opportunity to sail on one do it - it's a magical experience, especially if you get folky/shanty singers on board! Had a great experience in Tobermoray this year - an impromptu jam session on the bridge of a 150ft schooner - guitar, fiddle, squeezebox, moothie, tin whistle and as many joining in the singing as wanted to, as the sun set over the harbour and the lights of the Mishnish pub beckoned. Bliss, absolute bliss... Cheers, Mo.

Hating to be left out...............

I hail from the deep amongst the woods of the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire............and the folk club I belong to is held in the village where the Hellfire Club used to be. Nothing much seems to have changed................

Greetings from Cromarty, Black Isle. If I come down to Glasgow one more time and fail to find a tune on a Saturday night I may well just leave the town in smoking ruins. You have been warned. Jonathan.

Hey Big Mick Lowe, not Lane,

What a great thread. I had not read it, for some reason or the other, but I just now read it top to bottom and loved it. Hello from West Michigan to all my UK Mudcat friends. I love the weather comments. Here it is a beautiful fall day, a crisp54 degrees Fahrenheit, the trees are all dressed up for Saturday night and they look so beautiful that I am sure they are going to get lucky :-)) BTW, we have had the Tall Ships come into the Great Lakes, and we have a number of restored and recreated ships that home port in various places. The Great Lakes are very tricky sailing, specifically Northern Huron, Northern Michigan and Superior. There is a local band out of Traverse City (NW Michigan) called "Song of the Lake". All spring, summer and fall they have bonfires at a remote spot on the Grand Traverse Bay and sit around playing acoustic instruments and singing songs. A great experience.

All the Best,

One Big Mick among many.

Hello David

If you look at the 'Anything Irish' and 'World' threads you will see I have done a pretty goog job letting people know about your excellent site.

But don't confine youself to the UK, this is the www after all.
