I can now actually post something sensible !! Half an hour ago the man from Air France delivered my missing luggage - THE BANJOLA !!!
I managed to get pointed in the wrong direction at Charles De Gaulle Airport and missed my correct connection back to Heathrow , where , on arrival there was a distinct lack of Banjola !
Any way , having served fourteen years in the Military , I have eaten a LOT worse food and slept in a LOT worse conditions than at Ramblewood and withe most decidedly worse comrades !
My Ego had rather more than its fair share of massaging during my USA trip , not least David Scheim almost demanding that I play some whistle with him and Lucy !
And thanks again to Bill D for not just turning up at my Whistle Workshop , but showing that he could have run it as well , with the questions and comments he added .
Lorcan for inviting me to join the buskers , (And Greg , of course , though we have jammed before ) . And ALL the people who did concert spots ( IF I was still running a club I would seriously think about booking ALL of you )
So I now have the target of saving enough pennies from my gigs to try to get over again as soon as possible !
Thanks to SINS , Wysiwyg , Severn , Fortunato ,Max and Jerry Rasmussen (Caught up with Jerry and The Messengers on the way back North) who all gave me a roof over my head and the usual Average mudcat friendship on my way through .
