You know, I would have posted normal pictures, but I actually don't have any...

And jef, that hot dog...I don't know what to say...there are no words for it.

Walden, I have no clue what they were snorting, but whatever it was, they didn't give me any, so I'm hurt.

I am a little sorry that I don't have normal pictures to give a proper representation of their usual decency... just another reason to go back again next year!

Oh, Man. I used to love the days of Irish music workshops. In a few weeks I'll just be an old married mommy. Sigh.

Ah, you bast%@$! I actually plan on being the first APE ever playing whistle the right way. Maybe one day.

Jack, the more I think of it, the more I think I would like to spend one month, like from november 1st to november 30, in Clare, around Ennis, for that festival, but also because 1) we get rid of the tourists 2) cheaper flights 3) we actually get to see some irish playing music. That week in Seattle was great, makes me think I prefer quieter, tourist free environment. Must be getting old. Anyway, would try to get intensive concertina lessons in november, etc. Also, my friend Kate is showing at the festival.

I saw Dave in Seattle last Saturday playing with Hanz Araki. He was great on banjo and he probably performed the fastest guitar string replacement and tuning I've ever seen. He also took a Metloef bodhran to task. Is sounded like a rapper doing beat-box. Do Metloefs sound like that in general or was it perhaps Dave's style?

Cheers,
Aaron

Yeah, Dave is one of the best banjo player I've seen, and his sister a very good fiddler and awesome step dancer. They're just great!

Jack, I haven't slept in that position since I was in a cot! Dunno how you managed, but anyway, it was really fun seeing you and Az again, even if you two did bore me to sleep with whistle talk on the way to the Ferry. Fiddle, now that's an instrument.

Get your hairy hobbit feet over to London asap and we can have some more fun eating 12 ounce steaks with mash, and chatting till 3am about American politics.

btw, much of that stuff on the floor was Beth's "to go" pile, I'm suprised she didn't tape you into a box and sell you on eBay. "One slightly rumpled Californian, sold as seen" might have fetched a couple of bucks.

Murph, I missed that! Yeah... I was amazed those guys put up with me at all. David is really one of the best musicians I've heard on any instrument and it was great to have him treat me so well. The last time we played together was two years ago and I've made some good progress since then. On the other hand, David's been playing for the last two years as well and is probably so much better now than he was last time I heard him that in comparison I'd be even worse than I used to be... make sense?
Anyhow, I'll be home at least for June? Up for some fun?
