You're most welcome! It's a bit short. I probably should go into depth, but I'm hoping people might be interested enough to pursue further info through Google.

These women were SO IMPORTANT, but have been ignored other than their spiritual impact on our musical culture. You can't take that away, but it also can't be explained so that people understand it. It has to be FELT! It can be seen and heard without knowing how it came about. And, of course, white people/men take credit. The more money they have, the more credit they take. But that's all another matter.

Thanks, King Bruce!

Have I got some more Blues for you!

I'm writing em. Joe's singin em. I'm ADDICTED!!!

Dan kept him up all night Thanksgiving eve

singing to nothing but a metronome,

while recording it

for an INDUSTRIAL version of

"Heartaches and Memories".

He was kicking and screaming but

HAD to find out what Dan was up to.

hahahaha I mean, he's in Florida, or

maybe South Carolina for T day,

after being estranged from his family

for years, and here's Dan obsessively

producing this kick-ass music online

with him. He's more backward

than I am with technology.

I can't stop laughing as I write this.

Knowing Dan....and a spirit

connection with Joe.....it's HILARIOUS!

The recording came out really EXCELLENT!

It's such a trip having this kind of ability

to do something so brand new!

I'll be posting all these things as I can.

Now doing artwork to go with them.

It's all happening so fast and it's CRAZY!!!,

to use Dan's favorite exclamation!

We have to cover our asses before

we leap in, so there's more work to

releasing this stuff than I'd like.

We have some BIG ideas!

I just wanna throw it out there because

it's so FANTASTIC!
