My night in the library remains one of my most treasured memories. And the next morning sitting around the table with Caroline and Sandy, their grandkids stopping by, with Mary Lou, Ciara and I ....... Yes, those will remain fond memories all the days of my life.

As to Folk Legacy, I am forever grateful to the Paton's for the gift of creating this amazing label and archive. Just being able to call them friends has given me enter into worlds and communities I could have never imagined being a part of. I am grateful beyond the ability to express to be friends with its creators, it's artists, and it's community.

Here's to 50 more.

All the best,

Mick Lane
