I rarely have enough disposable income to spend on CDs, let alone trans-Atlantic jaunts, plus my ears don't do well on airplanes. I haven't ruled this out though.

Why doesn't someone win the lottery and charter an airplane? Or better: we 1) find a schooner, 2) sign on as crew, and 3) sing shanties all the way over there.

Roger, regarding 'herding', the best method I've seen so far involves putting out the food and drink for the 'herd' in a nice, comfy place, and the individual long-lost critters of the Mudcritter-fold just sort of all come a-gathrin' in on their own. (ref to 'Master of the Sheepfold')
