1. After the Limited Pre-Release editions of HANG-n-RATTLE! arrived in late Dec., I spent the month, leading up to Elko 25, stuffing envelopes—mailing discs, mostly to friends and fans.  Sent over a hundred and received responses from maybe one-third of the recipients.  What an interesting exercise in winnowing said friends and fans from all future correspondence.  I’ll save mucho simoleons in postage and, moreover, invest the time, which I should not have squandered in the first place, into writing more songs and poems for both my most significant critic and my most enthusiastic fan, ME!  In the same breath, my utmost gratitude to those who relayed ebullient praise for, or even disappointment in, Wylie Gustafson and my songwriting collaborations.  Thanks for taking the time to reply.
