Ickle! Your friend Kate is a marvelous addition to the Bad Pennies. Lovely girl and nice fiddle work. But...

Could you take her aside and give her some pointers on personal appearance on stage. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what she wore except that she looked like she had just stepped out of an office cubicle to play the violin. She had an air of, "As soon as I finish playing this fiddle I'll type up that letter for Mr. ___." Not exactly "folk" if you know what I mean.

I hope she isn't a Mudcat, and if she is I hope she sees this as it is intended, constructive criticism.
