I do hope the "French Steel Rendez Vous in Charlieu April 19 &20" goes well and is a resounding !! success..
Unfortunately Pat and myself can't attend as it's Pats 65th birthday on the 24th and there is a party for her on the Wednesday 23rd.. The arrangements for which will take the prior weekend.
Plus I'm gigging the weekend with Bob Brolly. (although I would cancel that)
So hopefully we'll see you all at the Chanos-Curzon get together..which we DEFINITELY will attend.. |

Je serai en Angleterre du 21 mars jusqu'a 9 avril. Je visite mes amis en Angleterre chaque ans vers fevrier-avril. Si on allerais m'informer en avance de l'itinerie des rencontres de steel guitar, cela ferait possible de mon attendance.
Alors, il faut nous annoncier en avance pour nous attendre.
2009 .... annoncer en avance ! |
