Subject: RE: Too old for folk when this is over
Hi everyone, been a long time. Which is probably why

There isn’t a gig I play that hasn’t been knocked down and stomped out, same as everyone else. The last few years I have spent 6 months of the year in Cape Breton,playing some pub gigs, lots of great sessions, and really got a handle on busking for cruise ship tourists. As you can see, all the growth industries. This year I can’t even go there at all. Not crazy bout the 2-day drive, (hi Charmion!) but its not the reason.

I don’t see a lot of that stuff bouncing back...felt like it was just getting started but I’ve had a good kick at the can I guess. I’m 64 next week. I know lots of great younger players out east and I’ll still enjoy going out to see them, they need the gigs more than I do.
