Saw Linda Gail Lewis a few days ago in Maryland. She loves you as much as you love her, Michael. And her merch mouse pads are adorable. And Kenny Aaronson from Bob Dylan's finest NET band was on bass. Perfect evening.

That's what keeps happening to my ceiling tiles, they get soggy and a few fell off, others just partially hang there.

RE: the Move....our library had (only) the last disc of a box set/anthology by them, and the bridge on that version of "Do Ya" was missing too, although I know it's on the original (which I probably heard on "Split Ends", another sorta-collection). Weirdly, not only were most of the later tracks on that disc by Wood, a lot were edited, even though the songs could have easily fit on a CD. ??
