    Hi,

    Nice to meet you outside of York.
    It’s amazing to think we could have just
    flown past each other without stopping!

    Bon Voyage in Iceland.

    Could you please e-mail me privately. Mike Testerman (Wilkesboro/MerleFest) has fallen on some hard times and I’d rather not get into it on a public forum.
    Thanks,
    Joff

  6. Hello Pam

    email me at:

    sgslorta@hotmail.com

    I was robbed in Paris so have lost equipment & notes including some contact details.

    Leave for Africa on thursday so no more contact for quite a while.

    John, I guess under equipment is as good a place as any to post this. I’m really sorry to hear that you got robbed! That’s awful. I’m sure its a tough set back for your trip as well as for those of us who have been hoping to see and hear more about your trip. Well, I hope that your touring spirits are not too dampened and I wish you better luck in Africa.
    -Ben
