Thanks for your vote Gordin! Are you in Chicago by any chance?  (Ha)  Oh,
never mind I see .ca in your address. Some great tunes up there in
Newfoundland eh?

I would enjoy nothing more than to be there to buy them some pints in
Ireland. But sending some cash would do, and just may remember to do that.
Better still, I'll see if any of my music contacts in Ireland will be at the
festival and task them with a surprise round that I can then repay via
PayPal. I'll work on that.

The Celtic Fusion Music Festival is in County Down on 18th July 2010. Which
happens to be three weeks after the fiddler's wife is expecting their first
child. Should be interesting!!!

Can a good pint of Guiness be pulled in Florida? Hmm.. maybe not, but after
a day paddling a kayak around these parts, even a poorly pulled pint tastes
mighty good. To borrow and old saw - "Even a poorly pulled pint of Guiness
is better than a well pulled pint of most anything else." To me anyway.
