Minnesingers on the CD.

The most wonderful package came from Paul Grealish, the manager of the King’s Head in Galway, in response to my poem "At the King’s Head." He sent a T-shirt and a cap and a King’s Head bag and wants me to write the poem out so they can frame it and put it on the wall of the bar. Few things in the world could please me as much as this, a remembrance of me in the town I dream of. I smiled at the package for a full day before opening it, guessing what it was. I don’t know how I can avoid going there and presenting it in person.
