Hi George!

I had every intention of coming up to Niagara or Toronto to see you and I hoped to bring my mother along. You know me, I am undaunted by distance. NYC to Toronto is like Cork to Ballyliffin and back again!!!

However, I am saddened to find you will not be at either over a Saturday night. To make matters worse, my mother had a fall last week and is mostly horizontal for the time being. I'm running out to see her most days.

I wish you the very best of sights and songs on your trip. I hope you'll be bitten by the travel bug and come to NYC to see us soon.

All the best,
Dan
