Glad you enjoyed it

[@catherinecepuder3520]

I wonder does Andy Irvine recall his solo performance in Santa Cruz California around the time of 9/11? It was a somber time but Andy rose to the occasion. It was my first and only time to see him live and it is ever etched in my memory, not only because of the historical impact of 9/11 but being Irish and in the company of an Irish musician on U.S. soil during that turmoiltuous time meant alot to me.
