Ebbie -- "avast" (stop!) is very appropriate for Newport in the summer, as there is a lot of heaving in the streets -- from those who over-imbibe. I thank you for the suggestion, though.

Sorcha -- if you only knew how close to the bone you came with your suggestion of "Davey's Friends" -- the whole reason I am trying to rename the group is because "the Dave" has left us! And since I am not only a banjo player, but a double-bones player, and sometimes referred to as "Bones," I have reservations about 'Bare Bones," for obvious reasons. This is, afterall, New England. Thanks, any more?

Peace and harmony, Cindy
