what is going on?  i said i was going to make an effort to post something good last week.  i failed to do that.  my plate is too full.  i don't know how to cope with everything right now, so there may be a substantial lapse in posts.  i will post if i feel moved to do so, but i will be focusing my attention elsewhere.  likewise, there will be no more free spoon radio show.  when things settle down i may do a show again, or i may have a mini-show music blog thing, but i haven't listened to anything new for weeks, and i don't plan on getting anything new soon (though i do want to listen to the new magnetic fields record - maybe i'll go out and get it).  

if you pray, pray for tom robinson.  if you don't pray, think warm thoughts about him.  i don't pray to anything, but sometimes i wish i did.  it seems to make some people feel better.  it's a funny thing, faith.  the only thing i have faith in is my wife.  she often makes me feel better, but i don't think i'll be praying to her. maybe i'll just keep busy.    

stick with me.  there will be greatness, but probably not soon, and almost definitely not on a regular basis for a few months.  do not abandon.  be patient, but try not to be a patient. 

sincerely, 

jim turbert
