ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. Bad news--Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland has bone cancer and is probably going to lose his leg (in fact it may have been amputated yesterday). Although his prognosis for survival is good, he is likely to have to miss a lot of his bookings this summer, which is the season when he earns most of his income. For donation information, go to http://www.jerryhollandfund.org

2. On a positive note, registration is now open for the O'Flaherty Irish Music retreat, which will be held October 26-28. The teaching staff this year will include Pat Broaders (bouzouki), Matt Cranitch (fiddle), Mickey Dunne (uillean pipes), Catherine McEvoy (flute), Tommy O'Sullivan (guitar), Patrick Ourceau (fiddle), and Mark Stone (bodhran). For more information and to register, go to http://www.irishtradmusic.org/retreat/ THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL HIGHLIGHTS: * The Texas Scottish Festival and Highland Games in Arlington, June 1-3. * In addition to his performances at the Texas Scottish Festival, Brian McNeill will be giving a concert at MacHenry's in Fort Worth on May 31.
