Thanks to Alan Wilkis for contacting me about his music, and special thanks to Ace Noface for the thoughtful letter that accompanied his CD. Do your part to help fight ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease) by contributing to The ALS Association if you have the means to do so.

Next week: Wednesday brings a new Mental Nomad Podcast, and Thursday sees the return of Pod Across America, featuring music from Virginia.
