and a big 'you're welcome' from this lad.... so, I take it that you made it back okay.. good to hear.... got a couple of calls from wee Eddie in Casablanca... he rec'd the CD and was just knocked out to get it... hadn't listened yet.... the 2nd call was around midnite EDT, and the message said.. "Just listened to the first song... and all I can say is Wow.... fook me... what a fookin' tune!"... anyhow he's very happy with it and tryin' to get me over there in Sept. We'll see... meanwhile.... keep at it, and don't let negativity hobble you... we'll talk soon....
