Ya smooth-talkin' soppy booger, Dan - bless you. And you know what - we spent last night with Alaska Mike at home listening to Dan McKinnon's latest. He'd already heard a couple of your songs from the Singing Ref's excellent renditions, and was intrigued. Anyway, we were talking about Stan Rogers, and Mike (who also loves Stan's songs) mentioned that his voice had been compared to Stan's - so I thought I'd introduce him to the voice that Canada uses to commemorate Stan (smug smile here). He's a devoted fan of yours now.

One day...one day, we'll make the trip to Canada and take you up on your kind offer. Meanwhile, our hearts rest with you anyway. Just remember to tell little Daniel Aesop's fables...:-)

Love to both of you from Vanessa and the Fat One.
