    Hmmmmm......a topic for you to ramble on about during your Tuesday Phone Call?  I've got to think about it a little, but the first thing that pops into my head is...why not intoduce us to your wife, Krissy, during 1 of these calls?  I mean, you've written about her & put her picture up; why not do something cute with her like you do with Athena?

    Other than that...I'll have to get back to you.

    well, i happen to love your music tastes and find it ridiculously wonderful when i stumble upon your  habit of listening to the postal service and ani difranco and probably fiona apple and hopefully bright eyes and cursive. what i'm wondering is what your music tastes have always tended to learn toward, and how you have managed to stay so... active in your musical tastes as you got a little older/got married/had kids.

    i suppose, what i'm thinking of is the fact that as an 18 year old, you are listening to the same music as i do (which i absolutely am thrilled with), opposed to my parents who still listen to the who, the beatles, elton john, csny, cat stevens (though i have no opposition and find myself listening to them just as much as anything else) and my grandparents still listening to 40's and 50's music.

    what i'm trying to say, is that by the present examples around me, it seems that the saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" rings true. that as these people age, they tend to stick with things they know (not just with music but also politics and morals and beliefs) and are a little shut off by things that are new.

    you, though, are not that way. at least in your musical tastes.

    so i suppose i'm asking you to talk about what your tastes have always been, how you managed to stay so open to new trends in music, and whether or not this openness has spread to other areas like politics and beliefs. and if you think people of older generations should be more open.

    WOW i'm a rambler.

    Love the fact that you are interested in KIDS, and interact so well with your daughter.

    I woud like to talk about the programs I've created  that can literally save kids lives, (Child Abduction&Abuse Protection. as well as Gun Control and Fire Control )being available to kids thru rhyme,rhythm & rap (MUSIC of course being THE LANGUAGE OF KIDS).(www.safesongs.com)

    If you cannot address these, due to it sounding to much like "promotional material",  you can ask about  public opinion on the recent JESSICA  murder...and what is being done about this to PREVENT OUR KIDS from beoming the next VICTIMS!!!

    Hope you  understand my frustration, having created "Award Winning SAFESONGS 4 KIDS Prevention Programs" in audio,cd,guide books and video....to educate kids in a way that would "REMAIN IN THEIR BRAIN" and not having these AVAILABLE  in schools AND Day Care Centers for kids ages 3-12....????

    What are we doing to help our kids STAY SAFE??? Words alone do not have staying power BUT MUSIC DOES !!!!! KIDS LOVE RHYME -RHYTHM- RAP....
    but seems like I've got the BEST KEPT SECRET IN THE WORLD THAT CAN SAVE KIDS LIVES , and cannot find INVESTORS THAT CAN PROMOTE IT .....

    CAN YOU HELP?????
