Found both threads, both with answers, which were very helpful, and apologized on the thread where I asked where they'd gone! Duh. How does one stop being a guest around here? I thought I'd signed up to be a member. And YES! Of course! Slainte Mhath! That's where I'd seen it. As a matter of fact, I have that CD sitting right here at my elbow. Thanks so much! Marcia |
