That's it, before Kenny disowns me. I have a lot of penance to do, but there is also the pleasure of a number of Irish transcriptions I've done and a stack more of Irish recordings, field and commercial, needing attention, again (a mishap with a hard drive that took lots of work with it when it went down ~ that was hell
)...
