G'day John,

The quickest way to find that Mick is still about is to take the ferry to Tasmania. I've known Mick for decades, so I look out for him ... but many folk musicians who don't know him have told me of being accosted by this Irish feller who says (~) "That looks like a guitar/accordion/fiddle/whatever you're carrying ... There's good session down in the Crews' Quarters tonight, if you're interested."

I tink he still lives in Georgetown ... despite the hyrdofoil ferry's demise. It's a nice town (my wife grew up there) ... but the closong of the Aluminium plant is leading to some nasty social pressures.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
