What a gas to find this here. I saw my name and thought "Hey what's this" . Very kind of everyone here I must say . My son Ben just told me about Martha's blog yesterday.. I didn't know the word though I have heard it before . What's a blog ? Are, our "threads really blogs in disguise ??   

We had a great time the day Martha came up for this shoot . She brought a very athletic French photographer who took all the shots for the magazine article but Martha's sister who I love took the pictures on the blog . I had never met her before . The one of the photographer at the door shows my wife Erica looking off into the distance and how much of a pretzel the guy could get his body into . I was exhausted just watching him work . No body fat on that one . Who needs a tripod when you can stand on your head !! His pictures in the magazine are magnificent . Martha mostly uses him for her books so I was very luck he came for our shoot .

No pie plates in the photo shoot but Martha was holding an English style Pancheon (or farm bowl ) In the opening picture of the article and I have gotten a ton of people wanting that bowl .. How great is that . !

I have been making friends with a ton of musicians on youtube including our own Dick Miles . I love the idea of a song circle with people you cant go meet . Its an amazing way to share homemade music . You just have to get over the worry of millions of people seeing your clip . In fact if you get a few hundred hits your in like flint . I did a version of an english song and someone wrote Dog's Bollix in the comment box . I thought he didn't like the performance until another Brit let me know it was an affirmative use of the word .I was relieved . So you can get all kinds of cultural information out there if you just put yourself into the fray !!! . Thanks again to all here and warm regards to all my old friends on the CAT of MUD !!
