Hi Cliff,

I'm guessing that was you on the right at the table in front? :-)

No, everyone there were from other sessions. One of the class
students, Bette Jo, was there, but just having dinner.

There were two Octave Mandolins there last night, sometimes also
called an Irish Bouzouki. Steve, on your left was playing a Flatiron
octave, and Craig, who was playing bodhran most of the night has a
Trinity College instrument.

Cheers,

Michael
