Trust me, gnu, at least a couple of the CD's are barely worth that much. One, for instance, contains nearly 5 minutes of Sorcha attempting to tune her fiddle! However, there are some almost priceless sound bytes in some of the other "field recordings".

I must admit that I was completely unsure as to how the value of these CD's might be perceived. I'm gratified that there were at least some here who recognized the potential for treasure.

Moreover, I am pleased that the auction has raised a few needed dollars for The Mudcat. For that reason and for that reason alone, I wish it had gleaned more.

Congratulations, sg! I'll see you at CAMSCO where we can discuss your gender change.
