I know - I can't wait. Did you get to listen to the whole CD yet? I love Miss Fern and Miss Roberta on the porch telling their story, with
the distant piano sounding like a silent movie, and another favorite part was Leo Auffman collecting things for the Happiness Machine.

No, I have not finished it all yet. I did hear that part about Miss Fern and Miss Roberta. It was pure magic, piano was excellent. I think I heard the wind too, and all that about the lonely one sent chills down my back. Been very busy the last couple days, been sporadically listening in my car.

This sounds wonderful! do you have a source? or Do you have a blank CD and a burner? Actually, if Mr. B. gets anything from the sale of a ligit copy, forget the latter. It sounds like something I'd love, being a fan of Radio Shows...

I got my copy last weekend from Borders. $17.95 I think it was, and well worth it. It has a nice cover too. I can do the latter if you have trouble obtaining it.

Jim,

thanks for pointing out Ray's letter, I hadn't seen that before. (I notice Ray says he was moved to tears. But then again, didn't he say he cries reading the phone book?!)

Colonial told me back in October that they had already finished recording the voice parts for Something Wicked, and that it was in the queue for music scoring. I haven't heard anything about a release date yet.

I never heard Ray say that he cried reading the phone book! lol! Still, he must have liked it enough to have played it twice! At last, finally, his plays are being produced for the mass market! I hope he has a hit with this one!

I like the way the British say 'queue'.

Queue is a good word.


"Live Forever!"

I agree - it sounds better than "waiting in line."

Actually, when I said "queue" I was directly quoting the guy from Colonial, who I assume to be American.

Anyway, queue is a perfectly good word. We queue; we queue up; and when traffic comes to a standstill we have... a traffic queue!

I prefer the New York term, actually: wait ON line.

I think that business about Ray crying when he read the phone book is actually from the unnamed narrator (a thinly disguised Ray Bradbury) of Death is a Lonely Business or one of its sequels.

The New York line I like is, “Say, Bub, that light ain't gonna get any greener!”—this from the queue of course.

Back on track (I think!), at my local Borders yesterday, while getting a 25th anniversary present for Mrs. Braling, I got myself the Dandelion Wine Audio! I'm really looking forward to it!
