Hi Pete, I'm so glad to hear that you & Rick get carried away like that, it often happens with me when I'm practicing with my partner Neil. Towards the end of the evening things start to get a bit strange & we usually start up with 16 Candles or ShaaBoom (Life Could Be A Dream). 26 Miles has long been a softy for me. In 79 we had spent 30 days making a crossing from Maui to the West Coast under sail & no wind. Santa Catalina was our first landfall (even before customs) & it was just dawning, it was something. By the time we hit the beach it was getting towards late afternoon. We had been singing & playing together all the way across (3 other singers) & someone deceided that we should busk to pick up some cash but more so try to raise the eyebrows of some of the women. We started off with "Rollin Down To Ol Maui" & ended up a bit more cash than we had started with but just as forlorn, no one wanted any part of us after 30 days at sea & the look of lust in our eyes but still Catalina holds a spot in my heart. We must've sang that song over & over again all the way into San Diego. Thanks for this, I'm basking in memories before our big storm hits. Barry
