Well Amos what he said in part was: "I have
been away from Internet access for quite a while. I got your PM, but
haven't been able to hook up to answer it. note: THIS I BELIEVE!!! As it is I am sitting beside
the road using someone else's wireless signal........hahahahaha, ain't
life great in the new millennium???"

One thing about the big fella, you don't have to make up stories about him...the truth is almost always odder and more interesting.

Relax- he's found! He told me that he had bought a new guitar and has been sitting and playing it ever since.   Jean

Guest, you can still send me the Guiness if you want. I'll even share it with you.

There are REASONS Mick doesn't reply to your messages, folks. (And it provides ample opportunity for for me to extract urine.)

5. What? You wanted an answer!?
4. Some people work, y'know! Yeah, some people get to relax once in a while, too. I've often wondered what that must be like...
3. I had a near death experience and Heaven isn't wired for cable
2. I had a near death expierience, and although Heaven's wired for cable, I fried their computer.
1.5 I'm just fine, but somebody made liquids come out my nose and my computer fried.
And the No. 1 reason:
Jeez...oh Jeez, yeah. I really meant to reply, but had to make dinner, and forgot. Then I remembered, but I forgot again. But I remembered the next day, then went to work and forgot. Sorry. I am so, SO sorry!

Well, I have spent the better part of the last two weeks, including the holiday weekend, up to my rather considerable arse in alligators and scabs. I did take a respite to fly home for a weekend of music making at a gathering on beautiful Diamond Lake in Michigan. No internet access there, and I sang and played until my fingers and throat screamed at me to stop. Then back to the grind again. The problem has been that I am away from my internet for large amounts of time.

Willie, I do indeed live in your wife's hometown of Medford, NJ. Tell her I live right across the mill pond from Kirby's Mill and see it every morning out of my kitchen window. That is I see it every morning I am home. Lately it seems that I come and go in the dark. Some folks would call that a blessing.

Yep, Art, I am indeed organizing. And trying to fit in a little time for the guitar and uilleann pipes. I am very near the point of rebelling and saying to hell with all these demands on my music time.

Azizi, I love the folks in Jersey. They are polite, considerate drivers, and I have thoroughly enjoyed making new friends here. But they do talk funny ............ And for you Midwesterners, I want to warn you now. Never, I repeat, NEVER talk about drinking pop. They drink soda around these parts and will consider eliminating any cretin from the gene pool that doesn't understand that. Did I mention that they talk funny around here?

well Mick - It's good to hear from you - we probably wouldn't worry except there was that little incident where you were due in Toronto and never showed up...


BTW- see how they feel about "tonic"

Either one is just 1/2 the word- in KY it was sody-pop.

Here I am, my friend. I have been on an assignment that has kept me out of touch and off the Internet. And I have several sets of contract negotiations going on. All adds up to me being out of touch.

Catspaw called me the other night, and he sounds so great. Just talking to him reminded me of our dear internet village, and my friends here. Time to stop and smell the roses a bit.

Thanks for asking, fellow Beef Bro.

Mick
