Carol, FAR OUT!!
Carol and JacktheSailor will be the fist 'Catters I will be visiting as I begin my journey. It has been nearly twenty-five years since I last saw Doc Watson. I'm really looking forward to the visit as well as to the concert!

As jimmyt has noted, I'll be visiting him shortly after the Florida Folk Festival. Can hardly wait to sing some old KT3 songs with him. Strangely, the last time I saw jimmyt was in Banbury!

Good point, Allison. It would be great to hear both sides. Besides, I might run out of superlatives.

Well, all of my furniture and other household goods are now on their way to storage; but I still have just a few more things to do before I can hit the road tomorrow. One of those things is that Kelly is wanting to take me out to the Tipparary this evening for a proper send-off.

Thanks for the many good wishes and thanks in advance for the wonderful hospitality that has already been offered.
