Every morning I wake up with a song in my mind. It could be anything, and this morning, I woke with a memory of being on stage at the Holiday Inn by the bay in Portland Maine. I was performing with Tommy Makem and Schooner Fare, old and dear friends. We were singing Rolling Home, practically my theme song, and when we came to ...old new England, Tommy turned to me and bellowed out "Old New hampshire"! what do you mean, old New England? The crowd loved it.

Every time that part came around he would give me that look, and sing NEW HAMPSHIRE! This is one of my very few heros.

I've met his sons, but I don't really know them.
