Bruce, I mentioned your "regards" to Bill and he sort of lit up when I mentioned your name. "Yeah, I know him---I recorded one of his songs! The last time I saw him was back in........" and so on. He then told me about a recording that you, he, and a small group of others had made that had to do with singer/songwriters. He was pleased to hear from you, even indirectly.
Seamus, he had about the same reaction to your "regards". He proceeded to tell about the Alaska adventure in which he, you, and a PRIEST! closed up a local watering hole. Not too many details, but, hey, I have and imagination.   :-D    Jim
