stephan you are great. shaking your hand in chicago in june was a huge moment in my life

i also know that i do much better when i am not judging myself. there should be something emotionally erotic in music and that happens in a state of trust, or at least in a state where you do not care what anyone thinks because you know what the sound you have in your heart demands to be heard.

does that help?

will you ever be coming out to illinois again? or chicago i suppose?

yes you will chris! thanks for asking. we have it all recorded from the period after the filmore show two years ago, but then we decided that we wanted to make the new music first. i think i want to give away some of those songs for free on 3eb.com.

anyway, here's the plan: put our ursa minor and have it go along with ursa major, then maybe an homage album (covers) then the live album. something like that. i feel more confident and sure of doing these things than ever, thanks in large part to you all!

i agree.. that all sounds amazing
