THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU.

I'm gonna miss the weekly postings of the play lists.  To say nothing of
your insightful comments into KaTe and the meanings of her songs!

I also have you and "Suspended in Gaffa" to thank for Jane Siberry.  
I kept hearing her name on .gaffa, but had never heard Jane.  Then I saw
a video from BbtB on VH1 and thought "Oh.  Interesting."  Then I read
one of your playslists on which you'd played something from "No Borders
Here."  A few days later, I was in a record store exchanging some CDs I'd
gotten for my birthday.  Since I wasn't paying for the discs I wanted something
I might not ordinarily buy without hearing first.  I went to the Jane section
and found 3 or 4 albums.  I recognized the name "No Borders Here" and
on your 'suggestion', I picked that one.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

Hope things work out in Chicago for you and Chris.

Jeff
