With Scarborough and Bristol done for this year and no proposals in as yet for other faires (next year I really want to do one of the Alaska faires - just to say I did a faire in AK!) for this year, I find myself with a surplus of time, and want to make the best use of it. So I think I'll do something unorthodox for myself... rehearse.

Next CD will be Songs in the Key of Sea. I have quite a few songs in the list already, including:

• The Dark Lady
• High Barbary
• Fire Maringo
• Mother's Prayer (an original song, penned by my father)

As well as many others, some new (both brand-new songs and songs new to celticification), and some favorites.

This next CD may also be the first Traveller Song CD through and through, as I may be annexing a new performer into the fold. More on that as it develops.
