And this shall be for music, when no one else is near; The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear; That only I remember, that only you admire; Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire. (RL Stevenson)

Thanks for the update. The Caledonian Club travel option should greatly facilitate attendance by NYC Metro rabble. Great news. Cheers!
