Re: Stuff...

["Paul Vearncombe" <paul_vearncombe@ho...com>]

Hey Lisa

It was me what asked about Bagpipe Music and when I read your report of 
Gerard's comments I almost fell off me bleedin chair!  It would be amazing 
to get that out on CD.  You've made my week!
Mind you, I should be more excited about the prospect of the new album.  
Which, of course, I am.
Great to hear so much positive news at last!
