To My Amazing Friends

This is a thank you for those who have taken the time to start replenishing a part of my life that was stolen from me. Rob, Cathy, Abbie, and Brian, how can I ever thank you?

You've burned me CD's that you've had, or given me gift certificates to buy more, or have bought new ones as well. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate it. Music is the heart and soul of my being, and now it's being filled again with love and friendship. You guys are the best.

I love Carmen, and kudos to Rob for getting me a fabulous version of it! (With a little help from a fellow music nerd.) I now have a version of Carmen with Marilyn Horne and the Metropolitan Opera in the
Deutsche Grammophon version. Yessss! And thank you for offering to burn me your collection as well.


Never worry that your friends are mooches, because it'll always be for the best. Karma friends, karma. Thanks to Cathy who burned about 1/3 of all my CD collection last summer (including an irreplaceable CD!) and taking the time to burn me all of them again, and sending them too me, along with some of hers. I can't tell you how grateful I will be to get that wonderful package in the mail.

Thanks to Abbie for offering to let me use her computer to burn CD's, and for coming up with the idea of visiting the local library for some of those rarer CD's. I wouldn't have thought to check them out, but I bet they'll have a lot of my older operas.

To get a gift certificate is great, to get one to one of my favorite stores is too much for words. Thanks Brian for the generous certificate to Applause to continue rebuilding my collection. Now I'll drag you there every night... they're open until midnight!

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone! These gestures really mean a lot to me. I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for your kindness and thoughtfulness. I love you guys.

Congratulations on reacquisition of some of your compact discs.

Unfortunatley, you have also admitted to a federal copyright infringement offense. Please contact your accomplice "Cathy" and report to the nearest Federal building for criminal processing.

Best regards,

The FCC

I'm glad my blog has reached all the way to the FCC. My readership is definitely increasing! Thanks FCC aka Brian 'Saint Paul' Ward. Sneaky!

I don't know that I have anything so high-class as operas, but I can certainly help if you need any RAP MUSIC! WORRRRRRRD! :) Seriously, call me if you're missing stuff, and I'll sort through my classical/musical theatre collection fer ya.
