Look on it more as an ongoing adventure until he's playing the mainstage at Cambridge with representation from one of the top folk agencies. And who in truth deserves it more? You don't get to be a guy like John Kelly through being in the right place at the right time, a moments happy inspiration producing a pop/crossover song, or being born into the folkistocracy. What he does is amazing. |

I think John has a tune near this "Wild Young" and he is but a youth himself Chiz L in C |
