Salutations!

Sorry, no update this week. It's the editor's birthday, AND he's busy performing at and helping to run the Rose & Shamrock Celtic Festival & Feis in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, this weekend. No time, alas, no time! But hey! If you're in the area, stop by! Most of the festival weekend is FREE, and it features performances by Barleyjuice, Hold Fast, Charlie Zahm & Tad Marks, Fire in the Glen, Cormorant's Fancy, the Celtic Martins and more! PLUS more than 800 Irish dance competitors, dozens of competing bagpipers, food, vendors and contests for instruments, art and baking.

Come back next week!
