Well, roger, OK, but I can go you several notches better. I have not only been to Amos' house-- I have hugged him in the flesh, TWICE. I've met his family and we write and talk alla da time. And... don't ask me why... but I even have a photostat of his baptismal certificate from when he was a spratling (by the same name)! I even have an e-mail address for his sister! PLUS I now own the Mac he used... I'll go see if any secret identities are hidden on that as soon as the insurance company pays for its restoration from our fire. (It got smoked.)

I do wonder somtimes if he's real but that's just because he's such an intelligent, eclectic guy I can't see how he could know so much in one person's lifetime. (Ooops-- there I go forgetting about his past lives again! Sorry BG!) I am sure he has always been his own seff.

How this relates to his music is that Amos writes songs about everything, and thinks about everything, and wants to know what other people think about too, which he then writes into his songs. When his novel comes out you will understand how physics and the future relate to the folk process. I think a CD is planned to be included. *G* You will love the novel BTW. I know I did, even though seeing it in "mere" first draft stage.

BTW Amos, how IS that novel coming along? Been awhile since you gave us all an update.

PS, He IS a little quick to play "Puddem up," but just for fun. Smart people get bored so easily!

(Geeze, don't anybody tell Barky about this thread, or she'll come over here and smack us all around!)
