Have a great trip. But, if you eat the beef, you'll never be able to give blood again.

Thanks,

I'm sure there was a mooted Edinburgh gig too...if not, will try to make the Glasgow show.
Arches (Glasgow) is a nice venue - and pretty big!

I seem to have made it here in on piece.
Now I'm headed down to the pub to bolster myself with that fantastic English protein beverage.

The tour is big fun. Good crowds and yes the Guiness is better in Ireland.
The sound guys here so far have all loved the steel so I'm having a ball.
Everybody seems to know what a pedalsteel is and is way into it.

cya, Bob

Hey Bob,
Something I noticed in England is, the *milk* is better--of course the beer is, but... The milk is not homogenized, or doesn't have vit.D added...don't know exactly why, but it tastes a whole lot better. If you get a chance, please double-check this perception for me. Will see you again in Brooklyn somehow...

Ian Finlay · Post by **Ian Finlay** » 8 Oct 2002 8:22 am

You can get homogenised milk if you want to over here... no vit D or sugar added. I'm always amazed at how sweet US milk is!

I saw Bob's first gig over here, and I have to say he played beautifully. It was nice that the sound guy let him be heard - I was tempted to shout a request for SGR but managed to restrin myself! Although it was a fully seated venue which can be a damper the band went down a storm to huge applause and two encores!

Bob - I'm just sorry I didn't have any local brew in the house when you came over!

Ian

Thanks you guys !

Andy,
I haven't been drinking much milk except in my coffee. I'll check it out though.

Ian,

Thanks for all your help. I'll be talking to you soon. I thought I would run into more guys that play on this run but you have been the only one.

I've got the night off so I'm going to get some sleep now.

Bob
