Happy New Year from Oz,
Alan (Mandola Man), you're dead right about the street dance at Gulgong, it's one the great cultural events. Unfortunately it will be all over before I get there. As I write the folkies up there will be trying to recover & get into the street concert. I'll be getting there a bit late this year but there's still plenty of entertainment & playing to be done before it's over for another year.

Selene, I'll be away for a few days but I'll fill you in on details when I get back if some of the other Aussies don't beat me to it. We have all sorts of funny customs such as a tendancy to drive on the left.

Cheers,
Alan
