Hi, Rusty!
Yes, I knew that Lee Hays was a Weaver - I think he and Pete Seeger wrote the song "If I had a Hammer" whilst they were both together in The Weavers.

I meant "Is it like the Dundee equivalent of the London Albert Hall?"

Hello, Elle!

And I am not sure about the restaurant. I may go. May not.
