Thanks MMario. For a while there it was looking like I would have to back out of the Getaway, but, certain nice folks, who might not want to be named, talked me into going anyway. So, lo and behold, I've noticed a change in the voice these past few days: it's getting stronger, and, I'm hoping to be able to sing as well as talk at the Getaway.
Rick, I will be bringing my Apollo 12 string. Ask Seamus Kennedy what he thinks of it.
