I'd like to sign up for the Sept. 5 tour of Gettysburg. I've always wanted to see that place, and drive by it several times a year.

warmly,
Nikki

one question. when I saw you at the teada show over christmas at the irish center, i believe you said you owned an album called The Pipers Rock, featuring young uilleann pipers who are now famous. If you have it, could you burn a copy for me, as it's one I've been looking for for ages and can't find it. Plus, it is probably required listening material for me as well, so it would certainly be nice to own it.
thanks,
tim

His jaw dropped and he gave a big "REALLY!" Anyway, just letting you know we are out here in rural, non-crowded Mantua. Enjoyed the show immensly last night. PLease send the info for the benefit to <<bglennan1@verizon.net>>. Travel soft along the "road," we'll be listening for that voice on Sunday. Regards-Bob

The original hangs at the Colchester and Ipswich Museum in Essex (see http://www.ipswich.gov.uk/Services/Museums+and+Mansion/VirtualGallery/William+Wollaston.htm).

I didn't mind the sitting, but he made me pose with one of those Pakistani flutes. Yuck!

Of course I remember you, Marianne - from Liz's events (again, RIP), the Irish Center, and also one of Ed Clark's picnics? I didn't know you were doing a radio show - I'll have to tune in. I also did an Irish radio show in Florida YEARS ago - it's a lot of fun.

At 6:31pm on February 8, 2008, Kathy DeAngelo said…: Hi Marianne: can you put in a plug for the upcoming concerts in the DelVal area by Grainne Hambly & Billy Jackson? They're going to be at the Cultural Center in West Chester on March 8 at 7pm (harp workshops in the afternoon). Advance tickets are $12 & $15 at the door. This is a new venue and they're eager to put on Celtic concerts (sorry but that's the marketing term that helps to sell Irish music to some places) so I hope folks will come out and show them that there's audience out there for great traditional music.

For the South Jersey folks not wanting to travel all the way down to West Chester, they can catch Grainne & Billy at the Perkins Center for the Arts in Moorestown. I just arranged this the other day. Sunday March 9 at 7pm. Tickets $20.

I don't know if any of your audience are down at the Shore, but they'll be in Tuckerton at the Seaport on March 7.
Thanks!
