At this very moment my wife is practicing — noon on Xmas Day — and I’m sitting here watching the magpies in the snow…

The best to you and yours (Practice, practice, practice!) … we’re spending the day hanging out with each other, a quick dash to see the Ocean once more and then home for a big pot of posolé and some cold ale with which to wash it down. I’ll finish up the CD of Winter’s Tales and send the URL for free downloads for the supporting fans and friends, and then it’s a wrap.

P.S. We’re moving west … email me and I’ll provide details, but this time, we might actually get to catch up with you when the snow stops flying!
