Mick- your presence and music were a real "shot in the arm" to our annual gathering. The hottest day of the year, but our yard is shady and there was a breeze; everyone relaxed and made music, listened to each other (not always easy, but there are no "standards" here- we listen and encourage everyone, even monotones and beginning pickers), ate wonderful food, made new friends. And you, Mick, gained 45 or 50 new ones there! We're all grateful that you made the tedious trip across the GW Bridge and through endless traffic, but hope that you will do it again- we loved having you here. There were three other Catters, too- myself, Phillipa from Ireland, and Suffit of course who helped hold everything together. And we Pinewooders do appreciate your good words on our behalf, and welcome you to USA-East!   Jean
