Unfortunately, I am not going to make it. This breaks my heart, but the work on the CD here in Toronto is going to take a day longer than I anticipated, and that would put me at Getaway after midnight on Saturday. I feel very badly, and I apologize sincerely to the organizers and volunteers for the finest folk organization anywhere. These folks work very hard, are devoted to the music, and are my friends. I do not like this as I feel strongly about keeping committments, and feel great loyalty and devotion to the FSGW folk community. I hope they will forgive me.

And just as bad is that I won't be able to spend time with all of you. I truly look forward to this gathering, and seeing you all. I hope it is understood that I am hard at work on making this music and getting back in the musical saddle.

Enjoy the Getaway, folks and know that I wish I were there with you.

All the best,

Mick
