Mary-
Thanks for the BW clips. Also, I did do a cover of Weightless and posted
it online last year for the ALLOY members. It's also included on my new
album "Love and Armageddon" coming out this summer! Hope all has been
well with you,
Bill

Mary - thanks, too, for the goodies! I was thinking about Bruce Woolley a
week ago Saturday when a friend and I saw DeVotchKa and David Byrne out at
Wolftrap - the beautiful national performing arts park here. DeVotchKa is an
astoundingly talented group of musicians - all of them playing at least two
instruments - and the lead singer/guitarist plays theremin, too. I think
this was - other than at the Museum of Musical Instruments in Moscow - the
first time I've ever seen/heard a theremin played live, in person. I just
love the thought of a band touring with a theremin. Thank god that day was
our first in ages without heavy rain and copious lightning! (Hey, let me
stand here on stage with a tuneful lightning rod!) :)
BTW, Chris Merriman is a member of the TMDR Forum. He goes by the moniker
"Shingle Street Coastguard". He hinted around a great deal that he was
involved in the project in some way, and reading between the lines a few
folks figured out what his role was. And then I found this:

Lucky guy.
Bill - *love* your cover of "Weightless" and how cool is it that it'll be on
your new album?! NEAT!!
I'm annoyed to say that my copy of "Singular" still hasn't shown up. I
foolishly used an Amazon vendor out of the UK. Should have read their
feedback - every few comments is about poor communication and delays in
shipment. Grr. In theory, I should have it in the next week or so, but I
trust these guys about as far as I could throw 'em. Oh well - I've waited a
good number of years to see some of the videos for the first time. Guess
another couple of weeks won't kill me.
Hope everyone is doing well!

Bill,
I LOVED your version of Weightless! Please keep us updated as to when
your album comes out.
Much luck to you,
