Sophocleese,

You won't be happy to hear then that Simon and Hilary are not appearing at the Goderich Celtic Festival this year. However, their popularity may bring them back.

Btw, do we know each other? I have only missed an hour of the GodFest since its inception, and am usually at as many afterhours things for which I can stay awake.

Hilary has borrowed my double bass and I consider it a blessed instrument now. She always thanks me with a cd. These folks are as gracious as any people I've ever met. Three generations of my family have been charmed by them now.

For the crossover list: Chuck Berry songs like Little Queenie, CCR songs like Bad Moon Rising, Spanish takes on House of the Rising Sun, Love Me Tender as a fingerpicked solo, national anthem (in my case O Canada), the theme from Hockey Night in Canada gets them every time...
