Bad Joke of the Week(see answer at bottom): (This one of my personal
favorites.) What is the difference between a bull and an orchestra?

We've got a busy week ahead of us with some great shows planned. I
will be playing with my Irish group Soltre on Wednesday and Thursday
this week. We thought that it was only going to be Autumn and I, but
our guitar player made a surprise flight up from his home state of
Florida, so we've got the whole band! Should be fun! Then Goldmine
Pickers will be playing a full weekend with a Friday night appearance
at Fiddler's Hearth, Saturday evening in Fort Wayne at the Roots and
Rhythm at the Headwaters Festival and finally we will be playing
Sunday night at The Ark in Jay's new home town of Ann Arbor, MI.

We'll see you there!
