Dear Harpellers, Well it was quite a tour in Ireland and the UK, and Kenny and I are safely home now. Happy to say that all the gigs went wonderfully, and also to report that the Guinness strike was settled before we arrived. :)
Crossing the border between Eire and Northern Ireland, we noticed the border guards flagging us down; so naturally enough I rolled down the window to speak to them when **whoooosh!** suddenly the car was sprayed from all four sides with disinfectant for Foot and Mouth Disease. With the window down, Kenny and I were instantly 'disinfected,' much to the amusement of the Irish border guards. Hmmmm... one can only hope it wasn't DDT.
In any event, just wanted to mention that whilst in London we did two "live" songs plus a bit of chat on Paul Jones' BBC2 radio show, which will air on May 31st at 8PM UK time (Noon Pacific time.) Since this is also webcast, folks from anywhere in the world could listen to it...
For now at least we're home, resuming CA gigs for about 10 days, then it's off to Texas to play the Kerrville Folk Festival. Hope to see some of you at one gig or another, and hope all of you are well.
So now that I'm resubscribed: Did I miss anything juicy? :)
