I ordered a Since box and there was an address issue that I didn’t think to correct, so it’s probably coming back to you. Can you let me know when it does and maybe we can sort it out?
May as well share right back - I live in a little midwestern college town full of musicians (am not one myself), and while helping run a local band camp in the summer, we'll sit around and bullshit in the lulls between hauling gear around and running errands. Whenever your name comes up as a favorite songwriter, and it often comes up, people's eyes either go soft or just light up, and they start listing favorite songs or albums or shows, or the first time they heard your music. Like, the first time I heard your music - it was Lil Wallet Picture, it stopped me in my tracks while counting pills in the hospital pharmacy where I worked. I shushed my supervisor - she was so surprised that she actually shut up (my job-saving excuse: I was losing count). I scribbled your name down on a post-it and hauled ass to the record store after work. Anyway, it's been really cool - sorry, it's Friday and I'm all out of words- to hear/read your voice in these stories, recollections, and recordings you share with us. Thank you.
Just received and unpacked and pawed at the many amazing and plain old fun items in my Since box (pretty soon I'll even give some a listen). Exciting!! I'm so glad to be part of this.
It even makes me look at my world differently, and ponder the quirks and the stories behind the folks on my street... though they would be very hard pressed to form a cast as entertaining as your neighbours.
I love the recording of Isolation. The AT C3000 and SM81 have us right there in the room with you. Something happens around the 1:20 mark where your vocal bends into the note as the guitar note arrives, forming one of those moments that less than a handful of musicians I know of on this earth can conjure, where I literally get chills down my spine. So good. And to know you were walking a metaphorical high wire while recording it makes the alchemy of that moment all the more special and amazing.
“Comfortable collisions of private worlds.” Yes! I’m intrigued by this (new?) medium where there’s connection and interaction in a more personal (non-FB) way. Also wanted to add that I’m so appreciative of the pop up store items. Just received the test pressing of The Hill, signed poster, and CD, along with the very nice note from you. Made my day. Treasured items. 🙏🏻 ☮️

Catalytic converter deniers. Good one.
Sorry you can’t travel. I hope that is temporary.

I love being on this journey with you Rich!

How I wish I could conjure a sentence as perfect as this! Gladys Kravits Dice Clay. Ohhhhhh!
