We'll see, Morty. He does play the banjo, you know. And the initial shock of Chance's aversion therapy are wearing off.

John was the first one off the bus last night. the pouring rain stopped just long enough to get him packed into my car. Freddie is happy - someone to let him in and out today. He was treated to the fog horn from Portland Head Light last night - kind of a neat way to fall asleep.

i am at work. He is in Tami's hands this AM and on his way to Maeve once he has settled a rental car.

look for updates from up north (or is it Downeast? I am still from away).

Say listen old buddy........Glad you're there and all that.............. so.............. I was wondering, just as an aside, if you might get a lobster shipped my way. Previous prods of that bunch have all failed so maybe you could do something.......Say, why not bring one here yourself! I'm only a few states away..............

Otherwise though, I hope you have a great time!

I am here safe and sound, thanks for the kind words folks.
Hugs received and returned likewise.
Unfortunately I didn't sell out of CD's at Apple Hollow, so I have some with me. I only brought a few with me in person from Canada, and I mailed the rest to Mary's, I had visions on some officious border guard accusing me of coming to work illegally in the US if he found a load of CD's in my baggage.
I shall post more anon, see you on Friday Tom.

He is a rare thing in a house guest - one who is a joy to have for longer than 3 days. Enjoy him and give him a hug from me.

No drink? Have I confused John MacKenzie with Giok of old? There may be some milk in the house but not much and probably not fresh. How about some water?

John says he can't stand beer--basically never drinks--and he prefers places that don't serve alcoholic beverages. Trust me on that.

Maeve,
I have no idea what John's schedule is. If we can put together an impromptu song circle for Saturday or Sunday, who is in? It will have to be simple - Wine and beer left from last weekend and maybe order pizza or Chinese food.
This all depends on his schadule, though.

Yes, John was great at Apple Hollow, and yes, the CD is fine; we gave it a first spin while creeping along in horrible traffic on the 401 on Sunday.

Mary- John picked up the first copies of Halcyon Days just prior to his departure. I hope we can get some folks together to hear John sing (and play his guitar) and to sell those cds! It's a beauty.

I picked up John this morning at 5 and had him downtown Montreal at the Greyhound bus at 6:30.
It was a pleasure driving him in as it gave us a chance to talk. Festival being as it was, I found little time to spend much time with anyone.

"John MacKenzie's in Maine!!!!"

God Bless America!





Say hello to him from me. He was great at the festival, and although I didn't understand a sinle word he said except 'beer', he was also a wonderful guy. Through a translator he mentioned that I seemed to have the same difficulty as did he. When I asked what that might be, he said, "Getting better lookin' all the time and not able to do anything to stop it." So, not only a wonderful man and performer, but also wise. (Any guide dogs there?)

Not quite - he arrives tonight. John will be touring for a few days and then back at my place on Friday. He plans to be at the Press Room on Friday night. Check in here for further developments. I have no idea if there will be a song circle or whatever.
