Thanks fer the link, Willie-O. I enjoyed the song.

I wouldn't be surprised if Aine's involved in running the the event. This festival benefits one of her pet projects; Project Children.

It sure was fun. Great to meet everyone. Great to hear everyone. Can't wait for another opportunity.

Jed, I'm listening to your CD right now. I'm loving it. Return to Loch Moy is truly lovely. I'll get the lyrics later.

The festival was a wonderful opportunity for musicians from various parts of Texas to come together and meet. Not only that but a fundraiser for Project Children. Kudos to Pat Kelly for pulling it off.

Let's hope we can all get together again soon.

Emily

Emily - the lyrics are here. I really enjoyed meeting all your folks, and listening to your bands! Great stuff, both - and both very different, as you say.

Maybe next year we'll have even more Mudcatters there. We can start working on Seamus Kennedy ... the folks he uses for management also manage Clandestine, and I know the South Texas folks would love him.

Please give my regards to the rest your of band members. We really enjoyed your music and look forward to doing it again one day soon.

Emily - I'll try again, that link doesn't work. It should be here. The URL is: http://www.jedmarum.com/music/lyrics_lochmoy.html - just incase the HTML gets corrupted again.
