I received the Early Day Miners one-sided LP audio this weekend, so this may be the next LP in the series. There is still the question of artwork, but that’s underway, as far as I know. Aspera is slightly delayed since they are working for their folllow up to Sugared and Feathered for Jagjaguwar and are trying to get the album finished in time for the planned January 2003 release. The one-sided LP will most likely come out a little after the full-length. My parents saw Denison play on Saturday in Indiana. He was playing a few minutes from my actual boyhood home. Maybe some day there will be a marker there, along with a museum, much like there is for James Dean in nearby Fairmount, IN. The Dodgers are still hanging in the wild card race, but they still have some ground to make up on the Giants if there is any hope for post-season play. I’m still trying to be optimistic. :::scott:::

I finally posted the mp3 for “24 Turned 25” from Denison Witmer’s Philadelphia Songs. So, those of you interested in hearing something from the new album before you buy it can download the mp3 and take a listen. I also added mp3 links to a track from Unwed Sailor’s Marionette and the Music Box and The Trouble with Sweeney’s “Karen.” Be sure to take a listen. :::scott:::
I’ve finally re-ordered Burnt Toast Vinyl t-shirts in both black and red in sizes small through extra large. They should be ready next week or so. The new website that is being designed has red as one of the main colors, so I thought new shirts should mimic that scheme. I am also sending the master and artwork for Ester Drang’s Goldenwest cd to Gentlemen Records in Switzerland who will be issuing the album for release in Europe. So, the release should be more easily available in Europe once the cds are pressed by Gentlemen. By the way, Unwed Sailor is touring in Europe with a band from Gentlemen Records, Toboggan. I keep following the Dodgers’ race for the wild-card bid in the National League. There is still hope, but time is slowly running out. :::scott:::
