Jed,

I'm sorry I missed your gig in Chicago. I don't drive now and couldn't find a lift into the city from 100 miles out here in Peru, Illinois.

Everyone else,

Please note that my last order fom Elderly was hand delivered to me by Stan Werbin himself. It was the CD called Pete Seeger Sings Fats Domino---the one with the great version of "Ain't That A Shame"---even better than Pat Boone's superlative rendering of that seminal song. Stan had told me by e-mail that the CD doesn't exist. But I was blown away when he showed up at my door with it THE VERY NEXT DAY after flying by jet over to Beacon and having Pete record it for me personally right there in his bathroom because the acoustics are great in there.----- Was I satisfied with Elderly's service??? Hell no !! I was hoping they would've known I always had a crush on Karrie Potter (who works there sometimes) and they might've sent her here with the CD. She did take my order for it on the phone !!

But I guess they're o.k. -- after all.

They did know enough not to send Bob Blackman !!! I give 'em credit for that.
