A followup for those who've expressed an interest (poor deluded fools! Mwahahahaaa...! Ahem.)

I'll be at a hotel in south Ann Arbor, just off Interstate (? Highway? dunno) 94 at junction 177. The hotel is the Extended Stay America, in case anyone feels an urgent need to contact me. I'll be arriving on Sunday and finding my feet Monday (and practising driving on the wrong side of the road! :-). My plans then are to visit Elderly Instruments on Tuesday evening after work to try some guitars (and most likely buy one), and then hit the Ark on Wednesday. I doubt there'll be any problems identifying me as soon as I start singing - just look for the Brit with the Lancashire accent.

David, I'd love to come along to that club on Friday, if there's still room. I've finally found where Windsor is, so that should be OK. :-) Assuming I've not crashed the car already by driving on the left-hand side, of course.

Any particular styles of music for the Ark? or for your club, David? I'll stick to trad until I'm sure, but I do like my blues, Leonard Cohen and Dire Straits...

Graham.
