I would just like to say thank you to all the UK Catters that gave Kendall and myself such a welcome this year, firstly when we both came over in May/June and then when I came over in August.

It was so good to reconnect with old friends and to meet some new ones. It just about blew me away that, on very short notice in some cases, I could contact someone and arrange to get together that day or the following day. The hospitality that we/I recieved was almost overwhelming. You all know who you are and I think you are wonderful.

I got to some good sessions this last trip and heard some very good music. There are so many talented singers and musicians out there and it is a real pleasure to get to listen to them.

My main reason for the UK trips is to visit my family but you lot are really the icing on the cake.
