Hi, Vianna.

Thanks for saying "hi."

As I read about that great album, and think about it, I realize that people who really love it could probably go on about it for days, weeks, months, years. I suppose we merely confirm the importance and relevance of art in our life, and history: we look at it, feel it, interpret it, and continue to do so, ad infinitum, and it continues to touch us, sometimes in new and exciting ways, but just as often in the old and comforting ways.

I just bought the 2-CD "Say You Will." I've been so desperate for new music from these folks that I shelled out an additional eight bucks for a couple of other songs and the two live versions. I'm waiting until nobody's home—which will be next Tuesday—and then I'm going to turn the volume WAY up and take the Nestea plunge.

Can't wait. Until then, I'm not listening to or reading anything about it. I want to experience every note with untainted ears.

Talk to you soon.

Joe
