'spaw,

Thanks buddy, I've really been at a loss. It's tough to follow the gorilla suit act and I'll probably continue to perform a slightly less spectacular version for friends and the odd private party. I know I'll miss the kickback from the folks at the Neil Young Center.

In an effort to re-define myself and appeal to another audience, I had thought about donning formal wear and reading aloud the works of E.B. Browning. But of course the denizens of the Mud have brought me to my senses.

The Queen of the Desert approach isn't quite in my line, but paddymac's suggestion that I mount a fire truck on stage bears investigation. I saw something like that once in Tiajuana......

Gov? Only if I can run on the Mel Brooks platform. Work, work, work, work, work, work, Howya doing boys?

Higher pay, longer breaks and more beer for musicians. Compulsory silence during performance.

I really appreciate everyone's help during this difficult transitional period. Life is on the tower in the gorilla suit. Everything else is just waiting. E.S.
