i was just outside loudly reving the engine
on my gas-powered weed wacker
(the weedeater brand featherlite SST:
http://www1.epinions.com/content_99974221444)

as a stay at home male, it's something i do
a couple of times a week to warn other males
in the neighborhood to stay away from my vicinity.

anyway I wanted to tell you all a couple things

First i want to ask if anyone knows Jason M. who lives in an apartment on Franklin Blvd. in Austin,TX? He wrote me a letter in late March and I responded but it was very difficult to make out the last name (i'm looking at it now and it looks like McKague but it could be anything) and it got "returned to sender". Anyway I'm trying to find a Jason
in Austin. Anyone remember Nice Strong Arm?


Now in a very general sense I've sketched SJ6
out fully and need six more weeks to make it
water tight and ready to tape.

I have to record, mix and master it by August 15th,
so it can come out in January.
I don't know where yet. Somewhere new in Nashville.

The band on the record will be the band from the Wilderness Campaign-Plus> ***

You know the story, ten or eleven songs, two word title,
name in upper left corner.

Here are the songs in alphabetical order

10th Grade Prophecy
Aloyisius, Bluegrass Drummer
Blowback Override
Candy Jail
Chimerical Gangland
Party Barge
Strange Victory, Strange Defeat
Sunglasses, Cigarettes and Keys
The Woods at the End of the Street
Tiger Widow Village
What Is Not But Could Be If


One other item: I've been wondering for a long time if I was qualified to have a summer intern. It must depend on interest in the intern community. I have the ability to write a recommendation letter. (Alert: I have no "connections". I don't know ANYONE who runs a record label besides the two Dans at Drag City)So I throw
it out there: I am looking for someone who lives in Nashville who can help me with a few different SJ projects,
once or twice a week.
Being able to type or run a webpage would be very
I can't believe I'm typing this but:
"writers and musicians need not apply". I'm looking
for someone on the other side. I've got enough me.
I need someone else.

Let's say the internship will run from July 1-September 1.

Summer starts today so send your shtick or a list of your pluses and minuses to me tommorrow.

Remember if you live faraway or are not the arts administrative type, please don't hold hope of convincing
me "anyway". I will not be convinced by anything other than
competence or ESP.

(Well meaning nudnicks who complain about the personel on any particular SJ record really stress me out with all their HarryTurtledoving. Just trust me that these combinations of people are the exact right ones for reasons that are perhaps hidden to those who don't live inside my head. Without these reasons mentally available, all speculation is toofless!)


Also Bryce McQuern of Longview Rd in Knoxville:
You must have moved back to Florida like you said
you might because your letter bounced back too.
Good luck, friend.
