Will you miss me when I'm gone?

The editorial chair will be vacant during the holiday period, for reasons explained at this link. Thanks to Patrick Simpson of the Simpsons Bluegrass Band for making it necessary for your editor to go on the run. We hope to resume normal service on New Year's Eve, by which time either exoneration or expiation (or, perhaps, extermination) will have taken place.

Meanwhile - every good wish for Christmas and the New Year from the Bluegrass Ireland Blog to our readers all over the world!
