TO Big Mick: I was at the Mudcat workshop, which was one of my better moves of the weekend. I *thoroughly* enjoyed your rendition of "Dublin In The Rare Ould Times". I sure wouldn't mind having a recording of that!

I was standing next to Don Nichols and his migic recording box. He was handing the headphones to just about anybody who passed by. I got a listen also. No doubt, his equipment is first-rate! No worries about the quality of anything he recorded.

The rest of the music was superb also. And though I wasn't a Mudcat member then, I am now.

I hope lots of you folks come to the next Getaway, wherever it is.
