What a great week it was too. A trip to Florida is fun at the best of times but when you throw in some great music and good company then you have a little magic. Our sincere thanks to Beth and Randy who run Magnoliafest for their hospitality and generosity and a brilliant festival. Again for any of you who are bored with the newsletter just send me a mail and say "John, get back on the medication and stop calling". I wonder is that's it for festivals this year? Not if Ennis Co Clare has anything to do with it. In this Issue Ennis Traditional Music Festival I am fighting the urge to jump on a plane and fly home to sample a taste of winter and some of the best music there is in Ireland no matter what the season. The flights are cheaper than ever and the weather is the way I like it, wet and windy. All the makings of a great festival in one of my favourite Irish towns. http://www.jigtime.com/ennistradfestival.htm Tim O'Brien Travels On One of the best songwriters and players anywhere in the world Tim O'Brien has just Launched his latest CD to an eager world.
