I really don't know where to start. Still sleep deprived, up and down all night...
Anyway, I've been to many gatherings of like minded whackos like us, but this has to be the best yet. I can't thank Mary, Tinker and Carly for that wonderful reception, and a special thanks to Big Mick for his song, His English Rose; that was a winner my large friend! The words will remain in our collection of wedding memorabilia for ever.

There were so many high spots it's hard to put them all down here, but I must mention meeting and hearing KT. Such talent combined with honesty and straightforwardness is rare. Especially when combined with a lack of ego. This lady is a real treasure, and when she sang The Old Salt for me I felt very priviledged to know her. KT, you haven't seen the last of me! You and me gonna "pick" together some day.
Another high was "picking" with my dear friend, Ed Trickett on the porch. It has been so long since we swapped songs that it really felt good. MMario, you would have been welcome to stop and listen, it was not a closed session.
Once again, I thank the FSGW for inviting me to return, and, I thank everyone for being so accepting of my bride, Jacqui. You all made her feel so welcome, she can't wait for next year to come again.

The only low point was missing the Patons. Let's all hope they make it next year.
We will be posting pictures of the wedding and reception very soon.
