On Wednesday night last, I drove over to Windsor to have dinner with George Henderson, a fellow Mudcatter and one of the members of the Negagh Singers Circle. What a joy to meet a fellow 'Catter from across the sea and get to know him in person. I must tell you that they were lovely people and I absolutely enjoyed the time I had to spend with them. I believe we have begun a lifelong friendship. If any of you have a chance to meet them on this trip, I would strongly encourage it.

The only regret I have is that we did not have a chance to share a song. I am a little hoarse and I have a weekend full of music to make with my band, so I had to take it easy.

All the best,

Big Mick

Mick, what kind of food does George like? If we just take him out for some entertainment..what do you think he hates?

Hi Buddy,

We didn't get into a discussion of food types, must be the only thing we didn't talk about. I don't think you could go wrong with anything. George and Joyce are lovely people, and it will be about the conversation more than anything with them.

Hi Rick!

George and Joyce live in Ireland so they're not very fussy about food. Lead them to something wholesome and you'll hear no complaints.

George LOVES traditional song. As you probably gathered, he would love to sing himself while he's over.

I recall that there are in Toronto at least 2 pubs with 50+ or 100+ beers on tap. That is probably something George has yet to experience. Joyce could have a problem with steps.

Please give George best regards from my wife and me and the same to you.

Wherever the Hendersons are please give them my best.
When it comes to food they are game and fish lovers. So if it's been recently caught or shot they'll be two happy diners. Other than that, as long as it is dead and cooked they'll eat and enjoy - it's the company and conversation that is more important.

Speaking of visitors! Jack Hickman was in Ireland lately and we managed to meet for a song or two. Mudcat abú!

I hope to be taking the Hendersons to the Toronto Song Circle tomorrow night. I will pass on greetings from Mudcat.

I'm just back from the dropping off the Henderson's after we attended the Toronto Song Circle. We all had a great time and it was nice to meet part of the Mudcat international contigent.

I passed on your best wishes Frank. George says he'll see you in a couple of days.
