Damn! You must be reading my mind. I almost mentioned that Dave will be playing over in Alexadria, at the Birchmere, in the Spring(this I found at his website)--this has meaning because the Birchmere was one of Danny Gatton's stomping grounds-actually, the video actually looks like it is the Birchmere. Anyway, my favorite part was the business with the towel. I've heard of damping the strings, but…

As to the coffee—well, no one is a disappointed as I am—the closest we can get around here anymore is Puerto Rican Coffee, and that is roasted and packaged in Hoboken. And it's stale, to boot.

Hope you are well where you are—this is a great time not to be here—unless you like fear and loathing.

All the best.
