They say that married people grow to resemble each other ... I, too, left something behind at SINSULL's house: "100 Enduring Irish Session Tunes", my prime source of mandolin repertoire. I'm sorry, Mary! Would it be too much of an imposition if I asked you to mail it to me? I'll PM you our street address when we get home.

I had a great time. The Press Room session was, as Edmund said, one of the very best we have attended in recent memory -- lots of good music, good crack and good fellowship. I was tremendously impressed by the quality of the regulars' musicianship and put much on my mettle. I don't think I've sung so well in months.

SINSULL's hospitality sets a new high in folkie annals, and we left her with a houseful of dirty dishes. I haven't had such a great time on New Year's Eve since my dancing days.
