Jeri, I think we need you as our body guard. And we'd much rather have you then Mariah anyway!

... and Spaw, I love Navy bean soup, but the "ass out of a leprechaun" I could leave out!

MMario - I think we need you too, to sort of balance us out and bolster the 'size' thing.

Joe brings up a good point - we are not going into Canada to work, just to play music with our friend Rick, so no work permits are required - but what are required at the border these days for ID. I've let my passport expire. I presume my photo driver's license, a birth certificate, voter reg card, will be OK??

I was planning to bring a few instruments. I wanted to bring my Santa Cruz along - just to show it off, really - plus I need my Larrivee and banjo ... harmonicas ... Mick will have an ax or two. I guess we'll be loaded for bear when we cross.

And two handsome, large sized fellows like us would hardly be noticed, never mind spotted as unusual at the border - even long haired as we may be ... would we??
