Bravo , Michael. Absolutely gorgeous. Does Mary ever do session work? Dropbox collabs are all the rage these days.

Wow! What an amazing story! You two make some amazing music together and I am hoping to sneak over to one of these shows! And...I laughed out loud thinking that Colonoscopy WAS a reminder to get one, because who's list doesn't get weird at least once a week?

Pssst... awesome new spooky folk duo in Madison is writing songs about Wisconsin and lakes and loons that will make you tear up a bit. They would be great to see under the Big Top! https://www.thespinestealers.com/

Ah, Mike. One of the great joys of reading, to me, is the moments we stop to saver a particularly savory sentence. And whether it's the poetry of your language or the evocative detail, you provide these moments with an almost astounding frequency.

I have been up too late, or maybe too early now, worrying, and came across this voicemail. Haven't listened yet but scrolling came across your Prince piece. Not only did I /do I share your purple passion but delightedly came across the perfect words for what you do. To paraphrase you yourself, you toss off the words that I could never hope to utter, but am utterly able to feel.

Thanks as ever,

Cat
