That's right. I'm tempting fate and having a live show broadcast direct from my
home studio on Friday the 13th. I'll be appearing on Allen's show called
Ambitar, at Stillstream dot com. I plan for things to run somewhere between 60
and 90 minutes, as actual mileage may vary on shownight. Check the website for
times and how it affects your time zone, etc.

I think you'll dig this one.

heh. thanks slate.  thank ya big.

oh, to clarify, my "girlfriend" AND my wife climbed the canyon with the
kids.  my girlfriend took the actual pics.

my son is still proud of himself for falling in the moat.  my only regrets
about DS (besides clammage and damage) was not showing the kids to the
stage and backstage for the jams.  i heard it loud from them.  next time.
they won't ever forget something like going on stage with all those cool
musicians and wires and lights.

Hello Claire and welcome!

I just checked out the Mythical Ireland website and fell in love with what I
heard.
Your approach to ambient music is truly unique.
Although I'vre been a distant relative of the DS family since it began, I did
perform with
Mike Metlay at the City Skies Festival established by Jim Combs in Atlanta,
Georgia.
It's always refreshing to share thoughts and ideas with talented people.

Hi Guys,

I've been getting the messages of the group sent to my email over the last week,
and what a great group this is!

Plenty of banter :) (which is great) and the list strikes me as a really
friendly, informative place.

So , A Big Hello from Ireland.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all over the next while :)

Ayup. We have multiple Michaels in the Financials group with whom I work
most closely, and they are dubbed M1 and M2 in the order in which they
joined the team. Then there's another Michael in the Development group
that works with us as well, and he's Mike.

You can call me AJ, and you can call me RJ, but just don't call me late
