Secret Santa Micca sent me the Lorna Campbell CD I couldn't get thru my favourite shop (Lorna sings Ian Campbell) - it's as good as I expected it to be.

AND a CD of the singing session at Towersey Barn Aug 2003. Wonderful, its just like being there & I love singing sessions.

He also sent a CD-ROM (do they count? - of course, the Peter Bellamy triple referred to above has a ROM section on it) of an assortment of British & US catters. So far I've only taken a quick squizz of the pictures & haven't matched them with the very detailed index, nor have I listened to the kazoo music & other musical treats on it.

But maybe I'll have the time this weekend. Tho JennyO is throwing her annual January party ..

Just before chrissy I bought myself several To: me From: me pressies - a double of Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie & one by a local group Blackwood (wonderful vocals, marvelous harp, fiddle, whistles, mandolin, accordian ...) & received a free CD from an American group, Wayback, who do not want a gig at my club cos they know we are not the type of venue they need, so I can't call it payola. They are a mavellous (newgrass, whatever that is) group I would probably have never seen if I'd read about them in a program & I will be meeting them at the National (Folk Festival at Easter)

I also bought a few other CDs but they've slipped my mind (oops, they must hgave been memorable), but it is well after midnight here
