I need a little bit of help here and I would be delighted if some US catters would come to my aid. I have just been the recipient of a semi-tentative approach to cross the briny foam to do a turn at somewhere called The Western Stage in West Virginia. Being of advanced age and retired, I'm somewhat reluctant to face the North Atlantic. But if it were a case where this gig was something which I couldn't afford to miss, I would never forgive myself. Can any of you help with a bit of advice.....
