Larry buck up! You are a talented man with dear friends. You have been an inspiration to many of us at Mudcat (myself included).I am so sorry to hear about your friend; I lost someone in January and am still sad but the worst of it was right after he died so I know you must be feeling lousy just now...
I finally got some copies of my demo CD made (my version of iTunes bit the dust and I was just able to get a new one TODAY from a friend) and a copy is now wending its way to you.
If you ever wanna come check out Boston ( a good traditional music scene here!) you can stay with me anytime.
