I was thinking about a couple of dear friends around this joint who I happen to know are working on some cool projects. I realized I had not written lately to encourage them... and then I thought of us all, caught up in our daily grinds, momentary upsets, and major life commitments... working at some pace or other on real important projects (mostly in music). And never enough encouragement, somehow, I bet.

So whatchoo doin'? How's it going? What do you hope will be the result? What needs to happen next for it to come to fruition?

Me, I have a Gospel Tape Library to pack up and send to the wonderful soul who agreed to handle distribution, and then it's back to recording our Saturday Night Service music now that I can burn tracks onto a CD to repay all my Mudpals who have sent me tapes in the last 18 months. Not sure you should encourage me on that one, but whatever! Then there are the tunes to do for xxxxx and xxxx, a couple of overdue verses for xxxx, and harvesting the tunes for the book of spirituals I just got...
