Thanks for the hand of friendship Chris - howe could i not ask? I found you through the Pentangle page - you have fantastic taste in music! You grow Chillis (me too), you're interested in UFO's and we share a surname! Best regards.

hi chris, avnt had chance too send the envelope and the guitar tabs yet but working on it.check out my new look site and new tracks c u soon take it ez chris/leny?
How's it hangin chris? I'm in ireland at the moment. There a festival of music and theatre in my home city beginning tomoro. I'm going to an afternoon with the Waterford Folk Club in a Cathedral with the ol' fella, followed by a group called Tir na nOg, irish for land of youth. It's a folklore neverland or hollywood. You can stay there forever (skating, acting or just chasing faeries) but should you leave and set foot on another land you instantly return to your actual age. Could get messy.
hello Chris I'm entranced by your page, it's truly GOOD. Now I'm relying on you to keep me up to date with amphibian and chilli developments as well as with music... thank you and all the best Mark
