Hi folks — just got back to the old computer after a couple of weeks off, so I tho't I'd give my side of this story.

First, Eluned and Caitrin, you missed it, not getting to hear Lloyd and Opal and Opal's nephew, Jody. Fine voices, beautiful material … and Jody is an absolute DEMON with a flatpick — guitar of mandolin. Lloyd tells me he's hell on wheels with a banjo, too, but didn't have it along the night he was with us.

If you hear of Lloyd being involved in a festival, I highly recommend trying to get there. He's also a good storyteller — has something interesting to say about just about every song he does.

I'm heading back to WNC in late June and I'm hoping we can get together again. Other M'catters would certainly be welcome, so let's year from ya.

And 'Spaw — I'm gonna go that route some time soon just so we can have a session, OK?

cheers,

david
