John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, by Tom Kipp

I replied to my old and dear friend Richard Mockler just moments ago, upon encountering in my FB feed this latest evidence of his audacious creativity and legendary Montana charisma. Ahem,

“Richard, to describe this exemplary feat of communicative compression as a Masterpiece would be to undersell, I think, its many charms!

I for one await yer forthcoming album with eager anticipation….”

Enjoy this brief outpouring of SHEER JOY, my dear friends, in our world that so DESPERATELY needs it!

(By the by, thank you Joey Kline and Geoff Berner for setting up Richard’s perfect interjections in such a graceful manner! I doff my cap to y’all….)
