And I liked it very much. As much as I liked it I also like hearing you talk about it (which is seeing you write about it but you write in your own voice so it's just like hearing you talk). Someday before I croak I'm going to start a list of the people I've known who seem to me to be Real Artists -- not hte most accomplished I've known perhaps nor the most famous, just undeniably the real thing, live it eat it sleep it etc and can't do otherwise -- and though I know you only through this venue and for a short time I suspect strongly your name will be on there.
