one of my friends stopped mid verse said "How could I forget I have amnesia" so I now use that line, but I might appropriate Art's line, if I can remember it.

I'm (only) 52 - well, almost 53 & two years from retirement, but I've had problems with memory since school, & I wonder how I will go as I get older.

Mingulay, we have a black cloud that hangs around sessions & has followed us from the Glengarry, to the Shannon & now into folks living rooms & folk clubs. Are you sure it is your carpet, maybe it's really our black cloud traveling around the world.
