bounce bounce bounce bounce

hey, this is better than skipping stones:  let's see how many times we can
make this message bounce!  (BTW, where *is* BUFFA::HALL, and why are they
messing on us?  this net stuff still leaves me a bit baffled...)

for Ron Hill:  Ron, I think I emailed you about wanting the whole set of
KTpix, but then again I think all sorts of dubious things.  let me therefore
request again a complete set -- $15 will be in the mail as soon as I can 
get to a stamp machine and, well, buy some stamps.

re the _TWW_ lyrics books:  i'm afraid the holidays and suchlike have cut
into the development schedule a bit, but things do progress.  i've got the
text laid out, and am hoping to scan a bunch more photos today.  i'm using
imagestudio and freehand on the mac to cleanup the art -- this greatly
reduces the size of the postscript output file but is a time/labor intensive
process.  regardless, i should be close to done by this weekend.

re christmas:  well, i can now list the bodhran (an irish frame drum) as
one of the many instruments i own but cannot play.  the bodhran falls into
the special category of "instruments featured on Ms. Bush's recordings that
i own but cannot play", a distinction shared by just about all my musical
thingums.  The one exception is irish harp -- i can't off the top of my
head think of a featured harp part on any of KaTe's recordings (though
there is a harp visible in the Keyboard magazine cover photo).  anyway,
anyone who thinks that drums are easy to play (you just hit 'em, right?)
is welcome to come play the end of Jig of Life on the bodhran, and if you
survive that, try Night of the Swallow on my bagpipes... ;-]

if you are reading this message for the second, third, ninth, etc. time,
sorry for all the words and such.  footah!
