Greenpeace concert and James' beautiful, understated guitar playing on Joni's song "Shine", although he mentions playing with her "a couple of years ago on her album" Boy time flies!

Just to clarify, I have ALREADY BOOKED the entire Lodge for us, so no need to try and make Lodge reservations online. Just shoot me a mail reserving a slot, I don't need any money until later. Still available - the "Elroy Room" (sleeps 4 with a private bathroom) @ $125.00/night and of course (15) open slots in the two "Bunk rooms".
