Thanks, too, from me, Jon.

I have only managed to time my dialling up a couple of times to coincide with HearMe's across the Atlantic and the Pacific, but when I did I enjoyed both the music and the chats. I tried to connect my mic while on-line and crashed my computer so I exited rather un-graciously on that occasion, but I have connected it again now and I think I may (hope, pray, grovel to gods and goddesses) be able to join in.

So, Jon, thanks for making it possible, being so friendly & helpful, and enduring threads from hell in the name of sharing music across the world.

Thanks also to Áine for courageously taking on the challenge.

Helen
