Hi gang!!

Sorry, Skarpi min. I am absolutely buried with the band. We are booked several gigs a day through St. Pat's. On St. Pat's we start at 4:30 AM on a TV show and don't end until after midnight. I guess prosperity is good, but this is getting nuts. Everything from schools to pubs, innocent 5th graders to bawdy bunches of green bedecked folks drinking beer with food coloring, from Ladies Literary Clubs to discerning Irish music affondicio's. Between that and work being incredibly busy, has had me jumping in and out on my beloved Mudcat for several weeks now. I will get caught up next week.

THE FAIR ONE, whom I pursue relentlessly over cyber hill and dale, has indeed got some issues on her plate just now that is keeping her occupied. I haven't been able to chat with her in quite a while. But she will be back.

All the very best,

Mick
