Great photo.

thanks, daniel. i'll be returning to that wheatfield this summer to work on the book.

* thanks for the kindness in posting the update since version on ghetto monk. the older version is actually the playlist "sleep four" on my iTunes. i like songs that feel like memories are behind them and my imagination makes of them a little movie. of course, at the same time, knowing that in phototastic nature my imagination might create a piece of fiction, just as when you read a book and imagine the characters and then watch the movie and say, "hey, i didn't imagine helen to be blonde."

at the computer at work, it took a few minutes for the song to download, and meanwhile, I had migrated to another site. while my attention was diverted, the music came in, as if from nowhere. the floating realplayer was gone, yet the music strummed along. thank you. i feel a little renewed at the end of a long day.

good luck with the photo essaying.

jane, you're welcome. thanks for saying hello, mary--long time no hear.

good grief, you write songs too? and good ones at that.

thanks, maria. i only write the words and suggest a general direction--my disgustingly talented friends do the rest.

* i meant to tell you that back before i knew your blog, nate passed on to me issue 2 of ghetto monk and i loved the design of how you incorporated the audio cd...and i consider myself hard to please when it comes to homegrown goods like that.

Nice song, man.

This is one of J's favorite online stories:

"Goodnight Bird"

I like the voice of the bird.

Oh, by the way, if you want to send some lyrics to a fast song, I would love to try and write some music for it. I'm not as good with slow songs.

thanks, jane and jon. of all the songs i've written, 0 of the 6 have been fast. maybe i should try to break out.

beautiful.

thanks, gwen. my friend adam thanks you, too.
