erika, no, I don't usually work nearly this fast. But this particular voice has apparently been sitting there waiting for me to reattach myself to him/it in some way, and now it wants out.

Did you want to read any of this, BTW? It's not ghosts at all - straight mystery. No prob if you don't.

OK...I'll read it. I just sometimes feel that my opinion isn't very helpful.

No gun to your head, bebe. I know what not wanting to deal is like, especially when you're working on your own.

deb, I'd love to beta this one, just as a serious music fan. But it's no big deal if you feel you have enough cooks stirring the pot for now.

No such thing as enough cooks on this one. It needs something entirely different from my other stuff.

Will send.

Deb and Susan, insent with comments.

Got 'em, Cindy, and backsent. Thank you, ma'am!

Deb, I sent my comments back last night, and I also just got your package. Yay!

Amy! Got 'em, sweetie. This morning, I'm like Mario Batali in Kitchen Stadium on Iron Chef America; we're having a "welcoming Perkins to the Bay Area" Italian buffet tonight and I'm nose-down.

Off to make pie-crusts.

Will be commenting later. If I really run it, I may get some time to start the next section today, which is already mostly mapped out in my head: a living room jam session, and a flashback to a gig in 1977.

Deb, will read shortly. Need to take a break from these freelance projects.
