Okay, so, we’re closing in on the last two songs, and I have a lot of people to thank for all of this, so bare with me for a minute.

First of all, i want to thank FryKitty for not only starting this whole shebang but for entertaining my various forms of insanity throughout the planning and implementation of the event (and for putting me on the cam portal at the last second … i think seeing my ass live on camera was a good reward for that, don’t you?).


Second, i want to thank all of the members of the Crushed List that encouraged me to participate in such reckless behaviour, especially Dane, Benjy, Liz, Cheese, Desh, Carton & Tony.

Third, thank you to Rabi for telling me (once again) that my music was worth her hard earned cash, even though i still refuse to accept it (or her cash).


Fourth, thank you to Mollie & Michael for inspiration and for strength and for two really good songs that i will play for you someday, i promise.

Fifth, thank you to all of my other sponsors who lit a fire under me to get this done even though i had no indication they even knew i played guitar before now: Tom, Martha, Nancy, Melissa, & Dave.

Not quite last, thanx and lol’s to supportcrime, Danica, Jerwin, Aim, Iza and fx for keeping me awake and enthusiastic from afternoon to midnight to afternoon again.


And, finally, Gina, who makes this all fun again and again and again.

Ahh, just when i thought i was ready to pass out i put on “Gone” and it all got better. It’s so cool when you hear Gina & I smile while we’re singing. rabi claims to be able to exactly picture the looks on my face when she hears a recording of me, and while i’m skeptical i think it’s entirely possible… she saw me do “punk” and “under my skin” in person, and they’re surely my two most expressive songs. So, who knows. Honestly, i don’t even know what the hell face i’m making when i sing, but usually it doesn’t make me look any more attractive than i am when my mouth is firmly shut.

Some addendums to that post: 1) I typed “rabi” instead of “wockerjabby.com” into the hyperlink at first without noticing. 2) The entire coffee thing is moot because the mug is too hot for me to even approach. I can’t even sneak up on it. 3) You’ll note that i missed linking to Martha despite linking to the other two kiddies in my circle of awakeness, but that’s because i knew she was posting this really funny summary of me and my blog on her page shortly. I am still laughing. Still. Martha is definitely a daily read now; that’s what you get :p
