Dear Firends, I have been asked by Mary Courtney to sing the song I wrote about Engine 33 ladder 9, which mentions, among other heroes of that day, Father Mike. Please do try to attend this if you can, Father Mike was a hero long before the day he gave his life for all of us on Sept. 11. Larry

Yeah.....what they said, Larry. I have come to cherish our cyberfriendship. You, my friend, carry it on in the very best tradition of the bard. One day I will meet you and sing with you. That will be a wonderful day for me. Let me know how to order a CD with your wonderful song on it.

Thanks to all my treasured friends here. It is true Mick, that I was not really very hopeful about the whole computer thing, and yet, I am finding it is creating a real internaitonal community of folkies. Drop me an Email at InOBU@aol.com and I will send you the details. I am going to burn 1,000, real CDs not CDrs, so the quality will be better, we are up to about $200 in pre-sales. When we get close enough for me to kick in the rest out of the old busking box, (projection, about a month) the CDs will be able to be burned. I am also trying to put together a single with a BIG piper to be named, things are progressing, to put out the Firefighters song as a single completely for the benifit of the NYFD widows and childrens fund, I am trying to get all the produciton costs donated.
All the best
Larry
