Art, I never saw 'Northern Exposure' so I can't really say. I think it was shot in Washington state, though. Or was that 'Twin Peaks'? Which I didn't see either.

Yes, Paul Roseland comes here sometimes, and when I see him, I'll definitely tell him HI for you.

I haven't heard Tom, Brad and Alice yet, although I do have some Hazel Dickens and Alice CDs and tapes. As I said, I'm really looking forward to the Folk Festival this year. I don't require that every year's guest artists be my favorite performers and genres but it's really grand to have it every couple of years.

At least you almost made it to Alaska. Glad to hear you enjoyed the north. ;) I like the notion of knowing where one's child was conceived!
