The second Boarding Party album will be among our next batch of "made-to-order" CDs, Charley. We're hung up on getting the permissions we need for the use of the painting we want to use for the third one. Besides, there's almost too darned much on my plate right now. Trying to keep this enterprise afloat in the midst of the Bush economy is consuming much of my time and energy. When folks are deeply concerned about rising fuel costs, rising medical costs, failing businesses threatening many with layoffs or cutbacks... well, if your choice is buying the medication your doctor has just prescribed or buying a CD, which would you do? I can certainly understand the problem faced by many in these tough times. I'll get to the third Boarding Partry recording as soon as I can. Bear with me, please.

    I am told that there will be a celebration of Jonathan's life on the 15th of March in Washington. Watch for further information.

    Tonight, I went through a bunch photos taken at the Trolley Museum when we were working on the cover of his solo album. What an intense look he often had about him! Did he ever ring some kind of "Rasputin" bell with others?
