Jimmy's 7N Comment

[Jeremy]

I used to love 7N. I can fully respect the decision for Neil to leave. My understanding is that it was a mutual decision, but I may be wrong. Regardless, Neil has always wanted to stay more toward the traditional side than Kirk.
I remember last year (I think- I was pretty well tuned up) at the mid winter festival in Valley Forge when both Rathkeltair (sp?) and 7N were playing, a lot of us were praying that differences would be set aside and Neil would be called up during the set. Didn't happen.

Well guess what Jeremy, this past weekend in Dunedin FL it did happen.

Dan's grandmother passed away this past week and so Kirk called Neil and Victor Gagnon from the Jimmy Kelly band and asked if they would play with 7N that weekend. This was Friday morning. Well Saturday morng Neil was back with 7N for the first time since 1998. The first set sounded off like they hadnt practiced together (which they hadnt) but the second set rocked. It was like having the old 7N back for a day.

No one get their hopes up though, it was just an emergency fill in.

OK, so it may not happen again, but at least it happened.
