> [p.s. hi, again, wend. i've been, oh just here and there, in and out, that is me. :) also, Wilco's playin' the Electric Factory on 9/29 and Ryan Adams at the TLA on 10/6]
Hey, Bob,Thanks for the vote! I still don't have Heartbreaker... Last time we wrote, I told you I didn't have the Wilco-Billy Bragg cd Mermaid Avenue, but I did, my friend taped it for me, have it on casette. Haunting tune, 'One by One': lilting thing in 3/4 time, sort of like the old 'The Band' stuff when they toured with Dylan. (Hey, where's Dylan on this, the 'Desire' cd, maybe? is that the one with 'Hurricane'?)
Also, can't find the Wilco listing on the Electric Factory's web site...(?) What's the TLA? My place to crash in Philly is now defunct, my sis and I are in major theoretical disagreement phase, something we do infrequently, but with regularity (if that makes any sense).
Was of course going to list the Gillian Welch thing, but I forgot one or two... I still have the Emmylou I taped for you, but you slipped from my radar screen. "Here & there, in and out..." Hmmmm. Am I supposed to guess at what that means? Please say nothing bad's happened... Are you feeling well? Still taking Lamictal and/or Adderall? Curious to know what's worked for you (or, ehm, hasn't worked...)
Write if you have time, e-mail's still the same...
