Bert, you can sing about trimmed toenails at our house any time!And CarolC, our Gathering was the poorer for lack of an accordion and accordionist.
I thought we shouldda had some bodhran playing too but apparently my washboard playing discouraged it. Next time I will not only play it louder to encourage percussion but I WILL find the dang Therapeutic Claves and ring 'em through the echoing hills!
Thus the need for the accordion will only become more acute... and Bert and his toenails will have to return as well.
