OK, that does it! This just is NOT fair! I'm green with envy about you going to Donegal, alison. No really, I hope you have a fantastic time -- and I know you will, ya lucky girl. And do follow Den's advise about hearing Eamon's bodhráns. I've heard a couple of his played, and they really are a cut above the rest.

Touch the granite mountains and think of me awhile, a stór. Be safe and keep letting us know how you're getting on.
