As one of the founding members and senior partners of Fielding, Patterson, Swan and Lane, Layabouts at Large...........a wee little firm which has grown to include the likes of many of you.............I would like to second the motion made by my colleague, the esteemed maker of boots for oxen and yokes for everyone else............and further I would like to amend it to include one week off from having to hug the esteemed Heather............never fear, friend Rick, in your absence and in the spirit of true friendship, I will take over and make sure that the bonny Heather is not feeling neglected............no, no, don't thank me, I am only too happy to fill in.........now you just run along and enjoy yourself making music.......all is well at home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A FELLA WHO HAS BECOME A DEAR FRIEND TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

Big Mick
