I'm just sticking my nose in to wish our friends who are celebrating Hanukkah a happy one!
Also, I haven't ghosted all y'all.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946

Happy Hanukkah to all who are celebrating!
May your candles burn bright this season and blessings to your families
Happy Hanukkah, and blessings in these troubled times.
Shalom.
And many thanks to all the outstanding Jewish musicians and music scholars who have contributed not only to Mandolin Cafe but to the music of the world.

It's been on my bucket list for years to visit Israel and we actually had the trip scheduled for the end of November. Obviously that didn't happen...but it will eventually, so keep the light on for us! Shalom Shalom.
