Maeve it was up in Blue Hill - a long drive, but worth it.

I got quite apprehensive - Jay Peterson opened the show, followed by Michael Cooney and then the church pastor (sorry, his name escapes me), who was very very funny. We were on next and it really was a case of 'follow that!'. I had been practicing the songs a lot, particularly on beach walks with Seamus - helps the breath control no end, singing while walking at a reasonable pace over sand, but there was still the fear of drying up out there in front of a paying audience. I think that I was just relieved to get through both songs without incident.

Kendall was great - he got in front of the audience, the switch went on and there was the consummate performer doing his job perfectly. He gave me so much confidence that, once we were there, it was so natural, I just forgot the audience and sang for him.

I must admit that I got one hell of a kick out of it and I'm still floating. That has to rate as one of the really good days of my life.

Jay tells me that the concert will be put out on a local radio station sometime during the next month and he'll give me details once he gets them. I'll put the details here once he comes back to me.

By the way, he also tells me that they had a three inch think pile of $20, $10 notes and cheques so there should be a nice bit of cash to go the Utah. We sold a few DVDs and could have sold more if we had had them so that's all extra for Utah's pot as well.
