Jeff,

I was extremely gratified by the responses to the new arrangements. All of us have grown and evolved since the founding days of The Cryan' Shames,and I think the time was right to offer a new look at the original material. I was equally humbled by the responses to my new songs. What a wonderful audience. Mr. Hooke takes a classical approach to the original material of the Shames, rendering them faithfully to the original arrangements. He knows that I will assist him in any way that I can, so I'd be glad to hand over the charts for any of the new arrangements. Thank you for the kind words...and all the best, James
