MY sons and a group of friends went to Batavia NY to hear Seamus Kennedy. As usual he was himself. I was hoping he'd changed his ways some but no. He introduced me to the crowd a Salman Rushdie, future soon to be dead poet. Has me yodel with him on on "The Cattle Call" and then says, "That's OK Don, no one here knows you." Then he says when no one else can hear, "You know, you yodel like Gene Autry."

If he wasn't a good friend I say some things about him that were true.

Catch him when you can. He is a performer not to be apologized for.
