CarolC, your Silent Auction gift is generous, fantastic, wonderful -- and is going to make us a mint for the scholarship fund I have no doubt.... What a neat gift.

Speaking of neat gifts, Jed Marum is sending another one. Should be here tomorrow.

His new CD isn't out yet, so he's sending us 10 pre-release copies with special liner notes that say "2002 FSGW Getaway Release." He has signed the liner notes and Rick and Mick (!), who are also on the CD, will sign them this weekend.

Is this not fun? Unique stuff, to be sold to the 10 highest bidders....

And we'll have some copies of Jed's first CD, at $10 apiece, and also 5 copies of the first program in Jed's new radio series. It's called "INTO THE WEST: The Celts in Texas" and is a live recording of a show he did in Dallas.
