Hmmmm, still here eh?

Well, I rarely allow myself to "spout off nonsense" in public (even cyber-public) although I've been known to vent at great length into the ear-lobe of kindly folk sages like Sandy P. who never fails to give me proper advice.

Kendall (how's the truck buddy?) I have to tell you that recognition (in a mainstream way) is inextricably connected to:

1.Youth. "which I ain't"

2.Beauty. "not on the best day of my life"

3.Ambition. "next to most of the singer-songwriters I know, I have none."

4.Clout."can't stand coctail parties, won't join a political party, haven't had a hit record, never slept with Emmie Lou Harris, Lynda Ronstadt, or Joni Mitchell.

5.Death. "haven't done that yet".

6.Visibility. "too lazy to tour more that 7 weeks a year."

7.Acceptable Repertoire. "still sing too many traditional songs to be taken seriously."

8.Priority management. "spend more time on Mudcat than on career promotion."

But thanks for the support, anyway!
