No worries, Art. I think it might be the 11th of April if that suits you. We'll keep in touch as we go anyway.

Mudlark, thank you we'd love to see you but I think by the time we are on our way back, early May, you will be in Canada. I'll post here when I can as we go, though.

Sandra, We sent "Just a Mem'ry Living" to Big Jim. It's possible that Hildebrand's accent has become less American - to Americans, hence Jim's comment about the "Australian folk filter". That will all change as soon as he sets foot on his home soil. Iowa small-town boy isn't far below the surface.
Did I give you "Joy"(just me) and "Together Again Again" (Hildebrand and O'Leary)? Also we've just got hold of some early Hildebrand. Live recordings from Loas and then Melbourne. A bit raw but with great energy and a feel you can't get in a studio. I'll PM you about those.

pdq, thank you. I'm having a great time at that site. I've never seen the desert (or anywhere else in America for that matter) in the Spring. I'm drawn to wild places and wildflowers.

Cheers, Joy
