They both aquitted themselves in fine fashion, the crowd enjoyed them and an excellent time was had by all.

Yes, they had the inevitable requests for "Danny Boy" and "The Unicorn" but Terry didn't excuse himself from either, as threatened a few weeks ago, keeping his London Derrierre in place and playing along. He DID have to sing them Bill Caddick's Unicorn song, to show them how one should be written, though. Homages were paid, as well, to Spike Jones, Scott Joplin and Tom Lehrer in addition to the expected Irish fare. Mary sounded good enough to keep her welcome to continue to do gigs there forever for a man who prides himself on the quality of whom he hires. And she even got an English ballad in there.

They make a good team. Just think what they could do with real rehearsal time to work on it. They're both naturals and professionals and can piece it together anyway on the spot. They should continue to work together.
